The AMAC Combat Submission Wrestling Program teaches a reformulated shoot wrestling curriculum founded by Erik Paulson, former world light heavyweight shooto champion. The curriculum is a three dimensional martial art form that involves striking, takedowns, and submissions.

It’s a blend of grappling techniques and concepts from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai & Lethwei Kickboxing, Freestyle, and Greco-Roman wresteling, with techniques and submissions from shoot wrestling, Judo, Sambo, and Catchascatchcan, as well as striking from , French Savate, and Western Kickboxing. The Combat Submission Wrestling Program has produced champions in both Pride and the UFC. Many of today's top level MMA fighters train in C.S.W. including Sean Sherk, Josh Barnett and Ken Shamrock.

The focus of the AMAC Combat Submission Wrestling Program is to master basic techniques and drills, and have the ability to flow from position to position, escape each position and have both upper body and lower body submissions. Students develop through a progression of flow drills, techniques and unique training methods to build a strong and competitive MMA and Submission Wrestling game.
