Finer Details

The Scientific Wrestling CCACC Program requires the ability to "Do It Again"; i.e., to meet curriculum performance benchmarks during evaluations after earning the minimum hours of verified training at both Scientific Wrestling CCACC Camps Training Camps.

Upon the completion of 250 units (and Scientific Wrestling approval) participants will earn the Assistant Coach designation.

After 500 units, participants will have earned Scientific Wrestling's full Coach credential.

Each 3-day camp counts for 25 units toward the total requirement (so after 10 completed camps and approval you will earn Asst. Coach designation, after 20 you earn Full Coach).

You must attend at least one CCACC training camp per year to maintain perishable skills and validation. All participants must be 18 years or older, be in generally good health, and agree to hold themselves solely responsible for any and all injuries sustained while learning CACC or partaking in the CCACC program. As a CCACC candidate it will be expected that both you and your athletes are respectful, punctual, and hygienic with regards to any and all grappling related activities. Also, as a participant in the CCACC you will be expected to be an attentive and active student/coach, to communicate openly, to attend all relevant trainings, to learn the given material, and to practice more often than you don't. Other than that, there are no other requirements beyond paying your dues and putting in the work.

In the past, the only way to earn units was to attend camps. However, Covid19 has allowed me the chance to improve our certification process. In addition to earning units toward certification via camp attendence, the following are transferable toward certification:

1. If you have competitive experience, you now can earn 10 units/competition in which you've medaled (max. 100 units).
2. 25 units for each CACC ruled tournament you've hosted (max. 50 units).
3. Conditioning elective: 25 units when you document yourself completing both the Gotch Bible AND 500 hindu squats, 250 hindu push-ups, hold 3 minute bridge (bridging can be substituted by 30 wall walks).
4. 12.5 units for technique "dissertation" (can be a book or instructional video) that significantly contributes to the field of CACC as determined by a panel of existing Scientific Wrestling Coaches (max 25 units).
5. 12.5 for achieving an 80% pass rate on the written exam based upon Say Uncle!, Physical Chess, and the materials found at both The Fighting Library and Scientific Wrestling.
6. 25 units for passing a technique audit based upon Catch Wrestling Takedowns, Catch Wrestling Submissions, and The Nelson Family instructionals.
7. 12.5 units for completion of the material over at WAR Catch Wrestling.
