[edit] History
Greg Jackson, a Washington, D.C. native, grew up in a family of wrestlers.[citation needed] Due to the rough neighborhood in which he was brought up, Jackson began training in martial arts at a young age.[citation needed] After several years, Jackson, seeking more out of his training, found a way to combine basic judo locks with his wrestling to create his own unique style of martial arts and self-defense which he called Gaidojutsu.[citation needed]
Jackson continued to develop new techniques after watching the first UFC and began training kickboxing under five-time kickboxing champion Michael Winkeljohn, creating a more complete training regimen.[citation needed]
