What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Robert V-N

"I’m so thankful I found Grappling Dynamics. After a long time of considering training Jiu Jitsu, this gym made it easy to start. The environment that Coach Brandon has created at the gym is an excellent combination of quality instruction, challenge, and support. He’s built a culture where students push and take care of each other. And the teaching focuses on developing a wide foundation and understanding of grappling movement, rather than just the current flashy move. This is an outstanding gym that I encourage everyone to check out if they’re seeking top-tier training, community, cleanliness, and safety."

Cole South

"My son has trained at Grappling Dynamics for a little over year. I'm a Jiu Jitsu black belt myself, have been to a ton of gyms, and can confidently say that Grappling Dynamics has the best kids' program in town (their adults program is great too, I drop in occasionally). The coaches strike the perfect blend of discipline, technique, exercise, and fun. Kids just "get" the vibe and expectations, and are shockingly well behaved in class. We probably have 5 gyms closer to us, but I happily drive out to Grappling Dynamics a couple times a week for my kids' Jiu Jitsu classes. Can't recommend it enough!"

John Lassetter

"I finally got around to writing a review after training here for about a year. I would highly recommend Grappling Dynamics for anyone wanting to train BJJ whether you are a first time student (as I was a year ago) or you already have experience. The coaches, Brandon and Seymour, are both very knowledgeable and great teachers. I also like that the class sizes are small, usually 8-12 students in the evenings when I go which means a lot of opportunities for individual feedback. Most importantly, though, the culture here is great. The students are diverse in age, experience, and hobbyist vs competetive, but, despite that, I enjoy rolling with everyone because they are willing to meet you wherever you are that day. Whether you want to drill something slow or pressure test your A game before a competition, you will find a willing partner for that here. Plus, you can try out classes for free to see if it’s a good fit before having to commit to anything so there really isn’t a reason to not give this place a look."

Dorian Wilbun

"10 months ago we started our 2 boys at Grappling Dynamics. The positive environment builds discipline and confidence. Our boys are truly thriving. Brandon, Mike, Seymour and the rest of the staff have found the perfect blend of instruction and fun. I can’t recommend this program enough."
