BJJ is a sport that keeps you driven week in and week out. No matter where you begin, our classes help you get better one step at a time and stay challenged with increased difficulty and friendly competition. The bottom line is we know how to help you get the most out of your workout.
Did you know that a majority of real-world fights end up on the ground? If you're forced to defend yourself in an altercation or attack, you're going to want effective ground-based skills that help you maintain control and stay injury-free. That's where we come in.
We're here to help you break free of static training. No more rep counting. No more wasted energy. Our classes keep your heart racing and your muscles moving from start to finish - but your mind is motivated throughout to focus on the task at hand, not how hard you're working.
The beauty of our system at Great Grappling is the progression of skills that we help you through. One day at a time, you'll get stronger, and faster, and smarter. In a few weeks, you'll look back at your first day and be amazed at the progress you've made and the goals you've accomplished.

As for Jeremy himself, it is few and far between to find people who are as dedicated to teaching as this man. The classes are very well researched, based
Thanks, Jeremy!, will be seeing you at the Rio Open!
