Grappling Arts Associaion of Great Britain.
A message from the directors of The Grappling Arts Association of Great Britain. (GAAGB). The Governing Body for Grappling in the UK.
For many years the development of combat sports have been a reaction to a situation rather than a proactive move to head off the situation before it begins. The very nature of this attribute is ingrained into many martial arts and combat sports - from its business attitude to the training of it fighters. The champions of these sports have been the ones who have honed their talents in such a way as to be able to predict or read what their opponent or the situation will do or turn into.
With Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Submission Grappling being the fastest growing martial arts in the world, we as practitioners have a duty to steer it in the right direction, predict where it will go and not have it taken over by institutions that have no interest in its core and history.
The Grappling Arts Association is more than just a govening body, it is a 'Think Tank' with the best minds from our sports being brought together to grow grappling and bjj and the industry around it; bringing together their business acumen from their specific fields such as the music, design, electronic and publishing industries.
Aside from directing our sport in a healthy direction these directors along with the companies they own and work are aiming to conquer through the sport, social problems like 'Child Obesity' and "Bullying in Schools", by giving our children more focus and direction in their lives, somthing that is missing so much in todays society.
