Ju Jitsu: Combatives and Sport Ju Jitsu

​

SGRO Ju Jitsu Kali is the civilian evolution of F.I.G.H.T. C.U.T. Combatives — Fully Integrated Grappling and Hitting Techniques – Close Up Techniques — a combatives system originally developed by David Sgro in 2000 for the 2/3 SFG (A) U.S. Army Special Forces, and later adopted by USACAPOC (Civil Affairs & Psychological Operations Command). Over the years, F.I.G.H.T. C.U.T. was taught to multiple military units including the 82nd Airborne Division, Military Police, PsyOps, Civil Affairs, and various support personnel preparing for deployment.

Now refined for the civilian sector, SGRO Ju Jitsu Kali offers structured evening classes focused on real-world self-defense. The curriculum is evenly balanced across key combat ranges: striking (20%), takedowns and throws (20%), grappling (20%), joint locks, arm-bars, and chokes (20%), and Filipino Kali stick and blade work (20%). Formerly taught to soldiers prior to combat, this system now empowers civilians with instinctive, adaptable responses to physical threats—emphasizing control, disarming, and situational awareness under pressure.

Rooted in over two decades of training both elite soldiers and civilians, the system integrates elements of Japanese Ju-Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Tang Soo Do, and Arnis/Kali. Whether you're preparing to protect yourself, your family, or others, SGRO Ju Jitsu Kali delivers combatives with purpose, precision, and proven roots.
