Combative Grappling Systems

Greensburg's Premier Martial Arts & Fitness Training Center

As part of Pennsylvania Combat Sports in Greensburg, we have seen massive growth in just over a year. Our Martial Arts and Fitness Programs have expanded into a full-time schedule with over 20 classes per week now being offered...with more being planned!

Alot has changed since we first started in 2001. Now, 10 years later we have dedicated programs that focus on specific skill sets for fighters to develop. Boxing, Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, No-Gi Grappling, and MMA are all available to members. CrossFit training is also a key component to our training regime as many athletes, along with average joes, want to experience the ultimate in elite fitness.

The state of Martial Arts training in Greensburg and surrounding communities of Westmoreland County will never be the same...the bar has definitely been raised to another level and we're glad that a top notch facility is finally available to local residents. This is REAL MARTIAL ARTS and REAL FITNESS for those who are ready to reach their goals.

Give us a call today (724) 420-5199 to get set-up with a Free Private Lesson and Consultation.

Our Charter Membership with USA Jiu-Jitsu

At the start of 2010, Team CGS began its charter membership with USA Jiu-Jitsu (USAJJ). As a driving force with Jiu-Jitsu International to have BJJ included in the 2016 Olympics, USAJJ is doing what many other Jiu-Jitsu based organizations have not been able to accomplish. CGS members also receive discounted rates for attending USAJJ hosted events, courses, and tournaments.

The Organization

USA Jiu-Jitsu is an association for Jiu-Jitsu.

All of Jiu-Jitsu…

That means schools, academies, students, competitors… any and all organizations involved with jiu-Jitsu.

If you organize competitions, sell a product, for example…Mats, Gis, t-shirts, cleaning supplies and health related products to help the athletes….then USA Jiu-Jitsu is your organization.

USA JIU JITSU is a non-profit organization founded by some of the most respected and distinguished participants in Jiu Jitsu over the past 50 years. USA JIU JITSU will govern an inclusive NATIONAL JIU JITSU community. We are committed to a community free of bias and favoritism with fair and consistent rules and clearly defined short and long term goals that will allow for your advancement in JIU JITSU whether you are a Student, Instructor, Academy or Tournament Promoter.
