Grapple Box/East side BJJ is unique and so is Chris who takes great pride in teaching. Conveniently located in downtown Manhattan (short walk from Wall Street subway station), Grapple Box focuses a lot on techniques that form the core of BJJ.<br>I have had the opportunity to train in Singapore and some other parts of Asia over the years, and the increasing focus on competition BJJ is slowly taking away the self-defence element of the martial art.<br>Chris does well (and is supremely patient) to bring this balance back by focusing on takedowns & connecting them to submissions while also sprinkling the lessons with guard escapes, for example.<br>On a typical day, you can expect to learn techniques for majority of the class duration and spend 30-40 minutes in drilling those techniques, instead of just free sparring from knees.<br>If you are waiting to start your martial arts journey, do consider Grapple Box/East side BJJ. It may do wonders
Excellent jui jitsu gym. I began training here with zero experience. The instructor, Chris, as well as the other students were extremely welcoming and supportive. Chris is extremely passionate and attentive and genuinely cares about developing his students, regardless of their skill level. I have also found very good training partners here that vary in skill level. Overall, I believe you will be valued here as a student due to the passion of Chris and you will develop quickly as a result.
Chris is one of the best black belts in the sport of Jiu-Jitsu and very knowledgeable in combat sports as a whole. Having trained and competed with some of the best in the world , I would say Chris would give some of highest level athletes a run for their money. He is always very generous in sharing his techniques and very good at explaining it as well. Training with Chris would help you improve at a fast rate whether you’re a competitor or some one looking to train casually.
I have nothing but great things to say about this place. It is an amazing place to start your BJJ journey or continue to progress as a martial artist. Chris the main instructor is very technical and takes his time breaking down every technique and detail. Classes are offered morning and evenings including Saturdays! Trust me, I joined in October, not only have i lost weight I also feel and know that I have been bettering my Jiu Jitsu game.
Chris is a solid teacher, for those who ever haven't trained Jiu jiu before and for those that already train the smooth art will have a great time with him. I'm a Brazilian black belt and have been training in several different gym, I can assure you will have a great BJJ class. Oss
I’ve known my dear brother for years he is a scientist when it comes to details. Having trained with some of the worlds top mma fighters & grapplers puts him in the elite class of bjj instructors and competitors.
