It took us a long time to develop it. It basically takes everything from his books and in the gym into one system, and basically Greg wrote the new curriculum, so there’s actually a legitimate MMA belt system. We’re already testing on it at Jackson’s Martial Arts and Fitness Academy, and it’s working beautifully, said Ricky Kottenstette, gym manager at Jackson’s in Albuquerque, N.M.
For years, Jackson had his own hybrid style of martial arts he dubbed Gaidojutsu that he taught to his fighters.
Now with Century MMA on board as a partner, Jackson has a new belt system specifically geared towards MMA. The system will work no differently than a belt graduation and acceleration program for any other martial art.
You don’t have to get into the UFC Octagon to prove it and be a contender like most of the other guys did growing up, Kottestette stated. This is our opportunity to help people learn all of Greg’s system and learn his techniques, and he does the actual belt testing. So when student’s test, they test with Greg Jackson; so he does all the belt graduations.
