The AMAC Mixed Martial Arts / Combat Submission Wrestling Program (CSW) teaches a reformulated shoot wrestling curriculum founded by Erik Paulson, former world light heavyweight shooto champion. The curriculum is a three dimensional martial art form that involves striking, takedowns, and submissions. Combat Submission Wrestling is said to be most dominant Mixed Martial Arts training system available.

CSW is a blend of Muay Thai Boxing, Brazilian Jiu -Jitsu, Western Boxing, STX Kickboxing, Jun Fan Kickboxing, French Savate, Greco-Roman and Freestyle Wrestling, Shooto, Filipino Dumog and Judo. It encompasses three areas: Kickboxing, Clinching and Grappling which focuses on Submission Wrestling, Submission Fighting and Self-Defense. CSW has produced champions in both Pride and the UFC. Many of today's top level MMA fighters train in C.S.W. including Sean Sherk, Josh Barnett, Brock Lesnar and Ken Shamrock.

The focus of the AMAC Mixed Martial Arts / Combat Submission Wrestling Program is to master basic techniques and drills, and have the ability to flow from position to position, escape each position and have both upper body and lower body submissions. Students develop through a progression of flow drills, techniques and unique training methods to build a strong and competitive MMA and Submission Wrestling game.
