No Rules Grappling: Wrestling, Muay Thai & BJJ for Self-Defense

Clay Pratica of Warrior University in El Campo brings a traditional martial artist’s perspective to modern grappling, emphasizing that while disciplines like Wrestling, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu operate within rule sets, their principles remain essential for real-world self-defense—especially in the era of Mixed Martial Arts. He breaks grappling down into functional components, exploring drills like clinch work and body pummeling, and teaches how to adapt and create your own training methods so they integrate seamlessly into your existing art. His approach is about extracting what works, pressure-testing it, and giving practitioners the tools to apply grappling effectively beyond sport and into practical, adaptable self-defense.
