What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Paul Bury
"Been training here since the start of this new ownership and I couldn't recommend it more. Jiu jitsu classes every day with black belts who aren't just great practitioners, but excellent teachers and people. They also offer judo classes to really provide a complete grappling education. Combine that with great prices, and it really is a fantastic school."
Michael Watson
"Grappling University of Martial Arts is a great learning facility. It was my first experience with learning a martial art (JUDO). All the Sensei's were extra cool and my training partners as well. I definitely recommend it. Thank you GUMA"
