Shaolin Mixed Martial Arts is proud to recognize Sifu Victor’s latest achievement in his continuing martial arts education.
On August 16, 2026, Sifu Victor was awarded Shooto 2.0 Student Level 1 by Sensei Erik Paulson.
Shooto is a complete combat system that connects striking, takedowns, positional control and submissions. Rather than treating each range as a separate discipline, Shooto teaches practitioners to transition effectively as the situation changes.
Sensei Erik Paulson brings exceptional experience to the system. He became the first American to win the World Light Heavyweight Shooto Championship in Japan and successfully defended the title for several years. His Shooto 2.0 curriculum carries that experience forward through a structured approach to modern combat training.
For Sifu Victor, this achievement represents another step in a martial arts journey built on continued training, instruction and growth. That knowledge returns directly to the students of Shaolin Mixed Martial Arts through practical, connected training across striking and grappling ranges.
Congratulations to Sifu Victor on earning Shooto 2.0 Student Level 1.
