American Combat Association

The American Combat Association is currently the only mixed martial arts organization in America to sanction catch rules wrestling matches. The ACA was created by Florida and Southeast submission wrestling champion and ACA president Matthew "Granimal" Granahan and 2004 olympic wrestler, world ADCC submission champion, undefeated mma fighter and ACA's official grappling instructor Kamal Shalorus. The ACA promotes catch wrestling and boxing through seminars, amateur tournaments and live events.
