Great Grappling Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

“Can't believe I have not given Great Grappling a review! Around 6 years ago I entered here after finishing college and haven't left since. The team instruction here is amazing and the community is top notch. I'm a little biased though since I'm an instructor here as well 😉. This gym has made me a better public speaker, a better listener, and an all around better grappler. If you're ever in the area come to the fundamentals class or Saturday open mat and say hi.”

“I had no prior experience in grappling and no expectations, so I decided to give the week-long trial period a try. The upper belts, who I mean anyone who wasn’t a beginner, were incredibly helpful. I attend classes during the day, and it’s just as great. I want to express my gratitude to Evan and Bob for being patient with me. If you’ve ever thought about trying out BJJ this gym is great place to start.”

“I love training at Great Grappling! I've been there for 6 years now and couldn't be happier with the instruction that my kids and I receive. The community aspect and family atmosphere makes it feel welcoming to anyone and everyone, and the variety and different levels of training partners keeps everyone challenged as well. Jeremy is a fantastic teacher with a degree in education that helps keep the instruction at this school far above what you'll find just about anywhere else.”

“I’ve done business with Jeremy and seen him interact with the students. He is great and his students are very respectful! Highly recommend.”

“I am a purple belt and I travel 7 hours round trip once a month to train at this gym. There are a few key components that go into making a great gym: facilities, instruction, competition, and community. The facilities here are top notch. Huge rolling space, 2 separate mat areas, and locker rooms for men and women with showers. This is one of the cleanest facilities I've trained in. The competion and diversity here is great. On any given night, you will find a wide variety of skill and belt rank. It is not uncommon for a class to have 40-50 members, including upwards of 3-6 black belts. The instruction here is world class (they literally take people to IBJJF pans). If you'd like a taste, you can always check out the Great Grappling YouTube channel. Jeremy is a highly skilled and well known black belt. I have never trained under an instructor that taught technique in such a clear and understandable manner. Sadly, it is rare to find a gym where the black belt in charge is willing to roll with whomever walks in the door. That is not the case here! It is almost a guarantee that Jeremy will roll with you on your first week (if not your first night) at the gym. They have created a really special community of people here and it's why I keep coming back. Classes are fun, and the attitude is infectious. From the kids class all the way through to the top, people have a great time. If you are just starting your BJJ journey, this is the place to be; if you are a serious competitor looking to take your game to the next level, there is no better gym in the Carolinas to spend your time at.”
