I recently tried out this grappling gym and had a fantastic experience. Thomas is an exceptionally knowledgeable and welcoming instructor who goes above and beyond to help students. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you have any interest in grappling. They offer a seven-day free trial, and everyone is invited to join the Saturday open gym from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. It’s a great opportunity to see what they have to offer in a friendly, supportive atmosphere.

Great open mat at The Grappling Place! Thomas was a fantastic host, clear instruction on fundamentals and safety. Welcoming atmosphere with a mix of experience levels. Perfect for beginners. Planning to return for technique classes and sparring.

The gym is a very clean and has a simple design. It is a great place to learn the art of BJJ. The owner and teacher’s name is Thomas and is a very patient mentor. He will break down positions for you step by step for you to understand how and why they are important. If you are looking for someone who will care about your well being, this is the place to be.

Thomas is so welcoming! We went on Saturday to the open mat and had so much fun learning about grappling and practicing our other skills from wrestling.

I’ve been to many grappling and JJ gyms around the country. The Grappling Place is 1 of those places that are very comfortable to hangout, connect with new people, and grapple. Thomas is great with my son Leo and has genuine passion for grappling and teaching. He’s helped prepare my son for grappling tournaments and Leo always learns or improves everytime we train at GP. I enjoy stopping in on open mats and working with Thomas and his team. Can’t wait for our next open mat session.
