Real past and current club members on their experience with our team.

★★★★★
“I hadn't been on a wrestling mat in over 20 years. When they opened adult wrestling, I figured it was the best way to learn what my kids are doing and get back in shape. Amazing coaches, and everyone in the class is great to work with.”

“Coming from a wrestling background, I'd always wanted to try Jiu Jitsu. This program is outstanding. The coaching is great and the environment is motivating. I found a team to be part of again, one that keeps me accountable to my fitness. Life is good now.”

FAQ

Adult wrestling questions

I wrestled in high school or college. Is adult wrestling for me?

Absolutely. Many of our adult wrestlers haven't been on a mat in 20 years. You'll ease back in with people who get it, and beginners are welcome too.

What's the difference between Jiu Jitsu and wrestling?

Wrestling focuses on takedowns and control, while Brazilian Jiu Jitsu adds submissions and fighting from your back. Together they make a complete grappling game, and many members train both.

What should I bring to my first class?

Comfortable athletic clothes without zippers, a water bottle and flip-flops for off the mat. If you have a gi, bring it; if not, we'll help you get started.

Your first class is on us.
