My daughter did a drop-in class while we were in town on vacation, and both the staff ans students at GD were extremely welcoming! My daughter got a chance to experience training with a new team in a new town, both of which she greatly enjoyed. From pairing her up with a battle buddy to understand their process, to ensuring she received the same instruction as the other students….this academy delivered on all fronts. THANK YOU to all the staff and students for sharing your culture with us, we will definitely be back next time we’re in town!
Posted 1 year ago**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. What really stands out about this program is the emphasis on character development and life skills. The Coaches encourage kids to respect each other, themselves, and their Coaches- and to develop important values like discipline, perseverance, and self-control. Grappling Dynamics itself is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary equipment for a safe and enjoyable learning experience. The parents' area is also comfortable and inviting if you have other kiddos that aren’t quite ready to practice. We've been blown away by the progress our daughter has made in a few short months. She has gained confidence, developed new skills, and made some good friends along the way. We highly recommend Grappling Dynamics.
Posted 1 year agoAre you looking for a nurturing and structured environment for your children to learn and grow? Look no further than Grappling Dynamics. My four-year-old twin boys started attending this gym last November, and I have seen a remarkable improvement in their discipline, confidence, and overall growth. The trainers at Grappling Dynamics are skilled at maintaining a balance between fun and discipline. They gradually increase the expectations of the students to promote decision-making autonomy while rewarding them for their effort and positive attitude. I was overjoyed to see my sons proudly show off their first stripe after receiving recognition for their hard work. One unique aspect of Grappling Dynamics is the curriculum based on Coach Brandon's framework. The students are taught the fundamental theory and application of positions before exploring more complex concepts. This approach ensures each student builds a strong foundation and grows at their own pace. The patience and dedication of the instructors are impressive and make all the difference in creating a culture of learning that benefits the whole family. Joining Grappling Dynamics is one of the best decisions we've made, and we are grateful for this nurturing environment that is helping our family learn Jiu Jitsu.

Posted 1 year agoI found this gym by word of mouth and I am glad that I made the choice to come. I started my 7 year old daughter off here to help her grow and and develop skills that will absolutely set her up for success. Since she started in late 2023 she has already made leap and bounds in her confidence and skill set. She enjoys the challenges that she is faced with in class from the students and coaches. Brandon, Seymour, and Mike all have the highest level of patience and standards that are not over the top. The kids know once they step on the mat, it's all business. Then after a hard class he rewards them with some sort of game such as dodge ball or whatever else they can come up with. Jiu-jitsu is a journey that I can't really explain except that it has taught my daughter and myself alot about life and strengthen our relationship.
