Eastside Grappling

“I have trained with Josh for the whole 12 years I have been training. Josh is an excellent instructor and has created a great environment for learning at Eastside Grappling. The students and other instructors are friendly and welcoming. Great place to train, learn, and have fun.”

“I have been training here for years. First started coming to the open mats on Sundays a few years ago and everyone was very welcoming. Started training here just after the pandemic. I train at the noon class on mon, wed, and Friday usually and it’s great. The other team mates are great training partners and coach Josh gives great instruction at the end of class. Highly recommend this gym.”

“I have been training at Eastside Grappling since 2017 and have had the privilege of watching the gym grow and evolve. It has personally given me a community I could not imagine my life without. You will have the opportunity to wrestle with and get immediate feedback from the head coach. Josh Botkin; owner, black belt, and head coach is detailed, and direct with instruction. If you’re new to the sport or looking for a new gym, come check out the gym for a week and see if it’s the place for you.”

“Great gym. Excellent training partners, plus Josh is ALWAYS ready and available to help, show better techniques, and offer advice. I love training here.”

“I’ve been training here for about 5 years. Good training partners and some tough rounds. Josh has been a great instructor with his unique insight into BJJ.”
