Our disciplines

With passionate and dedicated coaches, Icon Team Valais provides the ideal environment to learn and improve across three complementary martial arts. Practised in a focused yet welcoming atmosphere in Conthey since 2012.

Grappling — combat no-gi 01

Grappling

No-gi submission wrestling

Grappling has its roots in wrestling. Conthey, home to a strong regional wrestling tradition, is a natural setting for this discipline. Grappling brings together techniques of takedown, control and submission in both standing and ground positions — without a kimono (no-gi). The techniques mirror the foundations of BJJ, with the added challenge of gripping without a gi. No-gi is the cornerstone of modern MMA and competitions such as ADCC and EBI.

No-gi classes. Open to beginners and BJJ practitioners. ADCC, EBI, Grappling Industries competitions.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — technique de soumission au sol 02

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — BJJ

Icon Team Valais has practised Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since its founding in 2012. Rooted in judo and developed by the Gracie family in Brazil around 1920, BJJ is built on a powerful idea: technique and leverage allow a skilled practitioner to defend against a bigger, stronger opponent. The knowledge gained through BJJ — ground control, chokes, joint locks — makes it an essential foundation for both Grappling and MMA. Classes at Icon Team Valais are taught in a gi (kimono) following IBJJF standards.

Gi (kimono) classes. All levels — beginners welcome. IBJJF belt progression. Regional and national competitions.

MMA — sparring avec mitaines 03

MMA

Mixed Martial Arts

Mixed Martial Arts — also known as "combat libre" — is a discipline with worldwide reach. It is a complete martial art, effective both standing and on the ground. At Icon Team Valais, the emphasis is placed on ground technique to build well-rounded athletes capable of performing in all situations. The MMA introduction programme is designed for practitioners looking to add striking to a solid grappling base.

Structured MMA intro programme. Grappling foundation recommended. Technical work with protective gear (gloves, mouthguard).
