About

CSW Training Center Kids Martial Arts offers kids martial arts and youth martial arts classes that include Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Kids Classes) and Kids MMA. The broader training environment at the academy includes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Submission Wrestling, MMA, Kickboxing, Combat Submission Wrestling, STX Kickboxing, Judo, Catch Wrestling, Shoot Wrestling, Muay Thai, and Boxing.

The program is part of the CSW Training Center, which is described as the World Headquarters of Combat Submission Wrestling and the place where founder Erik Paulson continues to teach, develop, and pass on the system. Erik Paulson is the founder of Combat Submission Wrestling and STX Kickboxing, the first American Shooto World Champion, and a coach to world-class fighters and instructors, with more than five decades devoted to studying and refining martial arts. His background includes decades of training in Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Catch Wrestling, Shoot Wrestling, Muay Thai, and MMA, and for more than three decades he has coached world champions, UFC fighters, Hall of Famers, ADCC champions, elite submission grapplers, instructors, military personnel, law enforcement professionals, and martial artists from around the world. The leadership team for the program includes Erik Paulson and Program Director Trent Meaux.

The mission described for the academy presents martial arts as a lifelong pursuit of growth, where every class, training partner, success, and setback is another opportunity to learn. It states that true martial arts is not about collecting techniques, but about understanding principles, solving problems, and adapting knowledge to the individual, and that a legacy is measured not only by what is accomplished, but by what is passed on to others. The environment at the academy is described as serious and supportive, built around growth, respect, and lifelong learning, with programs structured so that beginners can learn at a comfortable pace while having room to grow as skills develop. The philosophy emphasizes never stopping learning, adapting rather than imitating, and leaving the art better than it was found.

CSW Training Center is described as offering a free trial for prospective students. For a first class, students are instructed to wear comfortable athletic clothing that allows them to move freely, and the academy states that it will take care of everything else and answer any questions when students arrive.

Testimonials from families and students describe changes in confidence and the ability to defend oneself through Jiu-Jitsu, and they describe Coach Paulson’s knowledge as unmatched and being part of his lineage as a privilege. Other testimonials describe the atmosphere, coaches, and family environment as impossible to resist, and refer to CSW as a gym family, while also stating that the coaches are outstanding, the academy is welcoming, and that every class helps students grow both on and off the mats.
