"Coach Gene is absolutely amazing. He has so much experience and knowledge and genuinely enjoys sharing that knowledge and passion with his students. The atmosphere here truly is like a family, always supportive and encouraging. I especially love the self-defense approach to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that is taught here, which makes Michigan Grappling Co different from any other other academy I've trained at."
