I stumbled across Grappling Dynamics when my son, who was about to turn 5 at the time, expressed his desire to get into Jiujitsu/wrestling as he is coming from a family of wrestlers. I reached out and spoke to Mike who was absolutely welcoming and he suggested we come by and check out a class. We did that week and by weeks' end my son took part in his first class with Grappling Dynamics. You can expect a clean environment and a safe place to leave your kid(s) for the duration of the class...although I enjoy watching my son in action. There is a seating area for those who want to do the same. My son being 5, he falls into the younger age group. Typically there are 2-3 instructors who maintain discipline & respect amongst the class, but are also super cool with all the kids. And there will be 2-3 "older" kids who help with the class which I absolutely love! They are always willing to help and I feel it provides some aspiration to the youn
**5 Stars: An Amazing Experience for Our daughter!** We recently enrolled our 6 year old daughter into Grappling Dynamics lil Eagles program and couldn't be more happy with the experience! From the moment we stepped into GD we were impressed with the welcoming atmosphere. Coach Brandon was quick and receptive to our initial inquiries. Coach Mike went out of his way to make our daughter feel comfortable and took the time to answer any questions we had during our trial class. Coach Seymour is patient, kind, and has a way of making each child feel seen and valued. Coach Brandon, Coach Seymour and Coach Mike all have a teaching style that is engaging as they expertly break down complex moves into movements that even the youngest students can understand. The classes themselves are well-structured and fun. Each session begins with a warm-up, followed by a series of exercises and drills designed to build confidence, coordination, and strength.
As an older guy (55+) with ZERO grappling background, I was hesitant to even consider training. Brandon and his coaches encouraged me to start at a comfortable pace and work my way into it. The coaching is clear and direct; training partners are fully helpful and supportive. Super strong team vibe - tons of additional instruction from coaches and teammates is always available. I didn't think it was possible for me to train Jiu Jitsu - but it's been a game changer positively impacting most areas in my life. I'm super grateful - Grappling Dynamics a great fit for me! Also...it turns out I have several friends whose kids train here too - they speak very highly about the extensive youth program as well.
I started training with Grappling Dynamics in July 2024. Coach Brandon and his assistant coaches go above and beyond to teach students the art of Jiu Jitsu and wrestling. Even the upper level belts and newer students help each other like a real team should. The assistant Coach Mike conducts the intake and explains how their program works and is quick in helping you get your Gi and no-gi apparel. The way this team trains together makes it obvious that they all want you to excel, and it can be said from my personal experience that they even want you to get better than them. Watching them work with the kids & young teens is also something definitely worth recognizing and to be appreciated. They work with the youth as if they were their own. Respect for others, safety, and taking care of their health (especially with Coach Seymour) is always stressed during class. If you are an adult or have children that you want to learn a new skill and i
If you’re a father and are wanting your kids to learn how to defend themselves, as well as, to learn and develop with them, Grappling Dynamics is the place you are looking for. For two reasons, community and leadership. The first thing that attracted me to the place was their youth development program. Although good emphasis is placed on learning the fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu, a priority is to enjoy the art and to improve their leadership skills as development progresses. There is a tiered system of older kids helping the younger ones learn. I felt that this was extremely important for my sons to experience. In addition, I’ve begun the learning process my self. The owner, Brandon, and his team (Seymour and Mike) are outstanding individuals with their own accolades and achievements. Their coaching styles emphasize learning the art of Jiu-Jitsu. Just as important, the people that I have trained with support and respect each person and the
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!
