I have train with Erik in the past and I can assure you that he is the real deal. I to believe that Erik Paulson is one of the best if not the best teachers out there (in my opinion). I trained with Larry Hartsell for nearly 14 years and Larry would always talk about Erik and would always encourage people to go train with Erik if they ever had the chance.
Erik's style of grappling is very similar to Larry's (they trained together for 10 years I believe) meaning they both combined several different grappling arts and striking arts all while maintaining economy of motion.
CSW combines Judo, Shooto, BJJ, Sambo, Catch Wrestling, Muay Thai, Savate and Boxing for one hell of a fighting system. It is not as hard as you think it is to pick it up. Erik will break down each move so that you can easily understand it, learn it and train it. If you have the chance to stop by and train with him then I would definately make that happen.
Just my thoughts
