IN THE BEGINNING

In Japan, Al Baffert (Stranger Lewis' buddy) a professional wrestler coined the word "killer wrestling". Since that time other wrestling names have risen to popularity such as "Jiu-Jitsu", Combat Grappling", Submission Wrestling", "New Judo", "Sambo" and "Groundfighting". It is still wrestling!
The various technique used within each of the above are known as "finishing holds". Virtually every body part can become vulnerable to attack via a finishing hold. The opportunities are endless. Modern day combatants are using refined grappling and submission holds and locks to create a new super sport which is derived from the oldest sport known to man. Through the development of advanced "balance disturbance" and submission techniques, fighters of the future have added new dimensions to the fight game. Consequently, a new extreme sport is being introduced to the extreme audience.
