Grappler type

The Phantom

G·S·C·A

Elusive and impossible to pin — flows out of trouble and back to position without ever forcing it.

The Phantom is impossible to hold down. You flow out of bad spots and back to position with constant, low-risk movement — never forcing, never panicking, always slipping to safety and the sweep. Opponents feel like they're grappling smoke.
