The Grappler Academy is a fantastic gym for beginners and those who want to improve their grappling skills. Marc works very well with his students. He not only gives his students proper instructions but valuable feedback for each technique. Marc doesn't rush students through drills and makes sure proper technique is demonstrated. He makes grappling fun and any challenge possible. The gym is clean and very inviting. The environment is not intimidating at all. The price is reasonable too. I recommend the Grappler Academy to anyone.

Whether you're new or have been practicing combat sports for years there's something here for you. Marc has been a great instructor. I don't have previous grappling experience and Marc has taken a major priority in making sure everyone is feeling safe, the atmosphere of the gym is extremely supportive and everyone is ready to help. He has an eye for technique and loves to answer questions. Marc truly has a gift for making people feel welcomed. I've seen him with kids and his patience is unparalleled. I can't say enough nice things about this place. Seriously if you're on the fence stop in and say hi during a class we'd love to see you and help you learn.

Marc is an incredible grappling coach. He is a super welcoming and is extremely patient. Marc will not only train you physically but will give you a new sense of confidence leaving his gym! On top of it all Marc created this gym himself with hard work and dedication. A man with this much unwavering commitment to his craft will be a great mentor for anyone new joining the grappling community!
