The Grappling Academy Bradenton

“When I moved to Bradenton 6 months ago, I decided to join the Grappling Academy after looking around at several other gyms. I chose this gym because of Coach Dan’s phenomenal teaching, good mat space, and friendliness of all of the members. The teaching here is very organized, and we regularly review what we learn previously to ensure that we retain what we learn. My jiu jitsu has significantly improved since being here. There are people of all skill levels to roll with, making this gym perfect for all levels. I’m very happy with my decision in choosing the Grappling Academy to train.”

“Visited this gym when on a trip from out of town and had an amazing experience. The owner/head instructor was very technical, an awesome teacher and very nice and welcoming. All the students I met were great rolls and super nice and welcoming. It's hard to find a good gym where the instruction is high level and the vibe/culture of the gym is good. If you're looking for a gym to join go here, I've seen a lot of red flags at a lot of gyms and this gym is legit and full of great people.”

“High-level instruction and great training partners. 10/10 recommend stoping by if you’re visiting the area, or if you’re a resident, sign up. We stopped by several gyms while on vacation and no where else came close to Grappling Academy.”

“I stopped by this gym to try out jiu jitsu for the first time while visiting my brother for Thanksgiving. Dan made me feel very welcomed, and I enjoyed my first class a lot. Everybody was friendly and the facility was very clean. I would highly recommend training here for anybody who is interested in trying out jiu jitsu. Definitely a good way to get your foot in the door and I'm sure for more advanced trainers as well”

“I cannot overstate how great this gym is. As someone who has bounced around to many gyms, never in my life have I gotten such high quality instruction or dedication from a coach. There is a place for everyone here whether you are a competitor or someone walking in with no prior experience. Coach Dan's process works, and I encourage everyone to check it out!”
