The program notes that the combination of striking and grappling techniques makes MMA an efficient program for self defense and competition training, and that combining wrestling techniques in Grappling & Jiu Jitsu makes it an efficient program for self defense and competition training without striking. It also states that the combination of Judo, Wrestling, and striking techniques creates Sport Sambo and Combat Sambo, that children instinctually wrestle for fun, that participants can gain self defense skills they can rely on, build character through discipline and mental toughness, and use conditioning for athletic performance and physical health. The program states that combat sports workouts have been proved to increase physical strength and endurance, and that combat sports are individual sports where strong bonds are made through team training.
