Gaidojutsu is the fighting system from Albuquerque, New Mexico developed by Greg Jackson and taught at his training facility, Jackson's Submission Fighting. Originally a combination of wrestling and Judo techniques, Jackson incorporated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing to make the system complete.
