Longhouse Submission Grappling, LLC

“I know martial arts can be intimidating so let me leave a well thought out, yet very honest review! Being a 115 lb girl with 3 years of experience and visits to multiple gyms/schools, I can confidently say that I absolutely love this place, the knowledge, and the people. Jiu Jitsu, with good technique and practice, is effective regardless of your size or gender. The classes are detailed and well understood! The instructors take time after or before class to review any questions or techniques, and everyone is very kind and very approchable, yet such savages on the mats..The instructors give time outside of class to both their students and any visitors. They truly care about each persons growth, personal goals, and the overall growth of this amazing martial art. I've cross trained at a lot of gyms and I drop in frequently here for the amazing knowledge and good vibes. If I could give it a million stars, I would! Brandon has taught me so much and has helped level up my Jiu Jitsu game so much! I consider this my second Jiu Jitsu home and if i wasnt moving over an hour away I'd be here everyday. Regardless I'll happily make the hour drive to learn super solid technique and see people I consider family. This gym is a great place to train whether you are a competitor, hobbyist, or brand new. Top notch instructors for both adults and kids! Amazing black belts coming together to service the Genesee County is the best things that could happen for the area. Even more so, they focus on technique that works on people at all levels, new or advanced, training or competing. I have utilized many techniques I've learned from them while out on the competition mats, and with great success.They train both Gi, and No-Gi. I trust the instructors knowledge of Jiu Jitsu completely. Incredibly grateful to have these amazing instructors available to Genesee County! Jiu Jitsu gave my life purpose and quite literally saved me. I will always promote the best schools in hopes that this martial art can help another as much as it's helped me, and this school is one of the best! Go try a free class and see for yourself, I'm confident you'll feel the same way! ATTN LADIES: this is a safe space for you to train, if you've been considering starting Jiu Jitsu or if you're looking for a new gym, this is it!”

“I recently started training Jiu Jitsu at Longhouse. I have trained martial arts most of my life as well as wrestling. I have trained at a variety of gyms and this gym is top notch, Brandon is extremely versed as an instructor of the craft. Brandon is patient and does very well at instructing to grapplers of all levels. This gym as a whole makes you feel at home. I recommend Longhouse to new grapplers as well as those that compete and are looking for a gym to take them to the next level, Brandon will get you there.”

“Went here for the first time today and wow! It was not at all what I expected. The mat is located in the buildings basement, but you wouldn't know it based on the vibe and decor. The area is full of animal mounts, a nature mural, a tree, and more. They have lockerrooms, a sauna, shower, bathrooms, a small fitness space, a small rock climbing wall, a large sitting area, and a pro shop! The staff is friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth checking out.”

“What a great group of people and athletes! If you’re near Grand Blanc and want to learn Jiu-jitsu, this is your place. From beginners to seasoned competitors, you will learn the many little details that are so important to understand the depths to jiujitsu. These guys teach with intent. They have a vision for the students success and they have a plan to help the student get there. The amount of technique here is mind blowing, I’m very grateful every time I walk on their mats.”

“Dropped in for a couple of classes while vacationing nearby and was met with the very responsive, accommodating, and highly professional Coach Brandon. The facilities high standards of cleanliness are very apparent. His curriculum and style of instructing makes the class engaging, fun and challenging at the same time. If you are performing the movements well, you’ll know not only by the tap, but his words of encouragement. If you’re not doing it well, he takes the time to help you grasp the concepts and movements in a way you can understand and relate. Thank you coach Brandon and longhouse!”
