What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
James Garner
"I have been doing martial arts for almost 30 years; starting with Tang Soo Do (karate) since I was five years old. As I got older I made the switch to MMA, even fighting professionally. I love the ground side of the martial arts and became pretty decent at it, but never took a formal class. After about fourteen years, Grapple 113 with Coach Jokisch opened and I jumped at finally taking formal classes! Coach is fantastic; very patient and great with the kids, very “fight smart” when it comes to the self-defense aspect of BJJ. It’s also a great way to get in shape! Just watch out for Coach’s shoulder ;)"
Eleanor Harms
"Grapple 113 is fantastic. My child's confidence has improved 1000% since she began learning jujitsu. Coach Jokisch is an excellent instructor and is really wonderful working with children of all ages."
Cyleah Garner
"I have a 10 year old and 6 year old that both have joined and each class you can see how much their self confidence grows. Coach Jokisch is outstanding with the children. He is so patient and kind with even the smallest children. I can’t say enough how happy we are to be part of this new family."
Scott Bayles
"Grapple 113 is an excellent place to learn and grown in jujitsu. Coach Jokish is a fantastic instructor and provides a family friendly environment. Great teaching and great training partners."
