About Us
At Submission Systems, we pride ourselves on providing top-tier Jiu-Jitsu training for our members. We offer classes in American Jiu-Jitsu, a style of no-gi Jiu-Jitsu heavily influenced by the sport of Wrestling with a strong emphasis on control from top positions and use of lower body submissions.
American Jiu-Jitsu is characterized by fast-paced, oftentimes explosive techniques, executed within a system that reigns in the chaos of grappling without the grips that a gi would afford you. This is not BJJ without a gi. The rules are different. The techniques are different. If you have aspirations of competing (or just training) at a high level in no-gi Jiu-Jitsu or MMA, you owe it to yourself to train accordingly instead of spending valuable mat time in the gi.
Submission Systems Jiu-Jitsu Academy is open to students of all skill levels. We welcome absolute beginners and seasoned veterans alike, and we have the tools to help you grow no matter where you’re at in your development.
Come check out a class and see for yourself why Submission Systems is taking West Chester by storm!

Yes! Even though we train and compete without the gi, we use the same belt system as any other Jiu-Jitsu school. While the belt itself is ceremonial, the skills you learn to earn each rank are very tangible and practical. At Submission Systems, rank is awarded based on merit. New students will be provided a copy of the Blue Belt Baseline, which will serve as a guide to the techniques you are expected to learn, but proficiency must displayed in using those techniques in live training to be considered for promotion.
