Great Grappling Brazilian Jiu Jitsu reviews

Rated 4.9/5 across 93 Google reviews.

It's impossible to put into words just how much my life has changed since walking through the doors of Great Grappling for the first time, but I'll give it the ol' College Try. Chances are if you are reading this review, you are actively looking for the best Jiu Jitsu experience possible in the Charlotte area. Whether you are curious in finding out if Jiu Jitsu is for you, or if you have been training for awhile and are just looking for a new place, I would encourage you to visit and meet what has become my second family. From day 1 you'll soon realize that this isn't just the best Jiu Jitsu experience you could ask for, it is that plus so much more! Great Grappling has become family, and training here is my home away from home. The learning experience here is top notch. On top of being an extremely skilled grappler, Jeremy is also an extremely skilled teacher (that's what he went to school for). His approach to teaching and learning pr
I am a purple belt and I travel 7 hours round trip once a month to train at this gym. There are a few key components that go into making a great gym: facilities, instruction, competition, and community. The facilities here are top notch. Huge rolling space, 2 separate mat areas, and locker rooms for men and women with showers. This is one of the cleanest facilities I've trained in. The competion and diversity here is great. On any given night, you will find a wide variety of skill and belt rank. It is not uncommon for a class to have 40-50 members, including upwards of 3-6 black belts. The instruction here is world class (they literally take people to IBJJF pans). If you'd like a taste, you can always check out the Great Grappling YouTube channel. Jeremy is a highly skilled and well known black belt. I have never trained under an instructor that taught technique in such a clear and understandable manner. Sadly, it is rare to find a gym
World class instruction, friendly faces, a fun and energized atmosphere, and a convenient location. I'd never tried Brazilian Jiu Jitsu prior to my first class at Great Grappling. As a white belt (the introductory level), I was treated with nothing but respect, and received hands-on, expert training, both by the instructors and by fellow students. Professor Jeremy Arel is the owner and primary instructor at Great Grappling, and from the minute your first class starts, you'll be able to tell that this man knows exactly what he is doing. He is a wealth of knowledge, and he knows exactly how to relay that knowledge to his students in an effective, engaging manner. I'm told that Professor Jeremy has a college degree in education, and it shows. But the Professor isn't the only asset the school has. The school is full of friendly, competent, and knowledgeable students who will never look down on you, and will give you constructive feedback th
Great Grappling is a phenomenal Jiu Jitsu facility. Not only does it have amenities such as a shower and multiple matted training rooms, but the community formed beteeen the students at this academy is next to none. Whether you’re looking to give BJJ a try for the first time, or are looking for somewhere to train while in town for work, the instructors and students at Great Grappling will provide you with a quality training experience. Unlike many other Jiu Jitsu academies, Jeremy Arel at Great Grappling creates a very structured and positive environment for learning and growing not only as an athlete, but as a family.
Great Grappling is a fantastic academy for learning Jiu Jitsu. Not only is the instruction and training top-notch, but the community is amazing. If you train here you’ll be welcomed, and you’ll feel like a part of the team right away. The experienced teammates love to help and share, and the depth of levels of experience is amazing. Professor Jeremy Arel is a skilled technical grappler, and also a trained teacher. His instruction style is well structured and really helps build conceptual and practical knowledge. The kids classes are disciplined and well run. I can’t say enough about the “mat family” I’ve come to know at GG. Pay us a visit!
Facilities are top notch, there is a full pro shop with branded apparel, GI's, post workout drinks and snacks. The facilities include a large mat space with padded walls. The school has both men and women's changing rooms, 2 rest rooms and a shower. The lobby has comfortable seating and a large screen TV. Instruction at Great Grappling is the best I have experienced with clear and detailed instruction, structured repetition, and one-on-one assistance from Professor Arel. During the sparring time Professor Arel matches everyone up each round so there is none of the awkward who am I going to be sparring with. I am a purple belt with over 8 years experience having trained at 3 different schools, attended many seminars in various locations, and trained in various cities when I travel for work. By far Great Grappling is the best school I have trained at. If your thinking of a place to come learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu then check here first. If
