About the Programme

Olympic Wrestling.
Ju Jitsu. Wall Wrestling.

Systematic Olympic wrestling training based on Freestyle and Greco-Roman styles, plus Wall Wrestling — the cage and wall control phase that decides modern MMA. Ju Jitsu training for competition and fitness. All levels are welcome.

Our wrestling curriculum is built around the two Olympic styles — Freestyle (full-body attacks, leg shots allowed) and Greco-Roman (upper-body throws, no leg attacks) — with a dedicated Wall Wrestling track for students preparing for MMA. Ju Jitsu sessions cover guard work, positional control, escapes, and submissions, trained for both sport competition and general fitness.

Both Olympic Styles, Systematically

Freestyle and Greco-Roman taught as a structured curriculum — not picked apart for tournament prep. The full Olympic wrestling skill set, taught the way it's meant to be learned.

Wall Wrestling for MMA

Cage clinch, wall pummel, and takedowns from the wall — the phase of MMA that decides most fights. A dedicated track for students adding wrestling to their MMA game.

Ju Jitsu — Competition & Fitness

Guard, positional control, escapes, and submissions — trained for sport competition or as a complete strength-and-conditioning method. All levels welcome.

The Programme

Wrestling & Ju Jitsu —
What You'll Learn

Olympic wrestling, Wall Wrestling for MMA, and Ju Jitsu — a complete curriculum built progressively from your first session.

Freestyle Wrestling

The Olympic style with full-body attacks and leg shots — single legs, double legs, ankle picks, and scrambles. The foundation of modern competitive wrestling.

Greco-Roman Wrestling

Upper-body wrestling — throws, suplexes, body lock, pummelling, and over-under control. Leg attacks are off-limits, so technique is everything.

Wall Wrestling for MMA

Cage clinch, wall pummel, and takedowns from the wall — the phase of MMA most gyms skip. Dedicated track for students preparing for MMA.

Stance, Motion & Level Change

How to move on your feet — staying in position to attack, defend, and re-engage. The starting point for both Olympic styles.

Takedown Defence

Sprawl, whizzer, front headlock, and frames. Stopping takedowns is as important as hitting them — for wrestling and MMA both.

Ju Jitsu Guard & Positions

Guard, side control, mount, and back — the four positions every grappler needs to control, hold, and escape.

Submissions & Escapes

Arm bars, chokes, kimuras, and joint locks — applied from every position, with the corresponding escapes drilled both sides.

Positional Sparring

Technical rolling from specific starting points — the fastest path from drilling to live wrestling and Ju Jitsu competence. All levels.

Coaches Who
Train & Compete.

Mobin Babu leads the wrestling programme at SpaRing Lifestyle, focused on Olympic wrestling technique — both Freestyle and Greco-Roman — takedown defence, and Wall Wrestling for MMA. He trains athletes from complete beginners to competitive fighters.

Sreeraj M brings deep expertise in Ju Jitsu and ground-game strategy — preparing athletes for competition and structuring sessions for fitness-focused students. Head Coach Kiran V S oversees all programmes and builds the integration between wrestling, Ju Jitsu, SAMBO, and the striking disciplines.

"Wrestling and Ju Jitsu are the most honest combat sports — you can't fake them, you can't muscle through them past a certain level, and every position teaches you something specific. They're also the most fun once you get past the first few weeks."

Why Train Here

What Wrestling & Ju Jitsu Will Do For You

🛡️

Most Practical Self-Defence

Most real physical confrontations end on the ground. Wrestling and Ju Jitsu are where those confrontations are decided — regardless of size.

💪

Posterior Chain Strength

Grip, core, back, and legs — developed the wrestling way. Functional strength that transfers to every sport and daily activity.

🧠

Physical Chess

Ju Jitsu is problem-solving under physical pressure. It builds spatial intelligence and composure faster than most mental training methods.

🫀

No Striking, Full Workout

Combat sport conditioning without concussion risk. For students who want the intensity of training without head contact — this is the path.

🥋

Wall Wrestling for MMA

Cage clinch, wall pummel, and takedowns from the wall — the MMA phase most Kochi gyms can't teach. Train it here, then layer in striking if you choose.

🏅

Competition or Fitness

Olympic wrestling and Ju Jitsu — train for competition, or train for the strength-and-conditioning effect. Both pathways work, both are welcome.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Honest answers before your first wrestling or Ju Jitsu session.

What styles of wrestling do you teach?+

Both Olympic styles — Freestyle (full-body attacks, leg shots allowed) and Greco-Roman (upper-body throws, no leg attacks) — taught as a structured, systematic curriculum. We also run a dedicated Wall Wrestling track for students preparing for MMA: cage clinch, wall pummel, and takedowns from the wall.

Is Ju Jitsu the same as BJJ?+

Closely related. Ju Jitsu at SpaRing covers guard work, positional control, escapes, and submissions — the same family of skills used in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and submission grappling. We don't run a traditional BJJ belt-promotion lineage; we focus on technique, sparring, and progression that translates to competition, MMA, or general fitness.

Is Ju Jitsu dangerous?+

Ju Jitsu has a lower injury rate than striking sports and most contact team sports. Submissions are trained with a clear tap system — the moment you tap, your partner releases immediately. Injuries happen when beginners refuse to tap; that's a culture problem, not a sport problem, and SpaRing doesn't tolerate it.

Do I need a gi?+

No gi is required to start. Shorts and a rash guard work for both wrestling and our Ju Jitsu sessions. If you want to add gi training later, we can advise on the right kit.

Do I need experience to start?+

No. All levels are welcome — that's a core part of the programme. Beginners start with stance, motion, break-falls, and basic positions. No prior martial arts background required.

Can I train Ju Jitsu without MMA or striking?+

Yes. Plenty of SpaRing students focus purely on Ju Jitsu, or purely on Olympic wrestling, and never train striking. The disciplines cross-recommend but don't require each other.

Can women train wrestling and Ju Jitsu?+

Yes. Mixed classes include women students. Ju Jitsu is particularly valuable as women's self-defence because it works regardless of size and strength differences — technique is everything.

How much does training cost?+

Fees are shared on enquiry — packages vary by branch, frequency, and whether you're combining with other disciplines. Call 9207787975 (YMCA) or 8129444355 (Edachira).
