What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Brandon Lin
"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."
Kishan Patel
"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."
B. Seah
"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."
Jess Heath
"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."
