Incredible! I had the opportunity to visit with some friends and it was a fantastic experience! Instructors were amazing and very welcoming, the dojo has a great theme and vibe, and the place was very well-maintained and CLEAN! I will 100% be going again in the future and if I didn’t live more than two hours away, I would join. My family and I have been considering taking up BJJ anyway and have a dojo near our house. This experience at Longhouse convinced me it’s time to get started. Big thanks!

Absolute phenomenal facility with fantastic coaches. My only complaint is that I don’t live in Michigan and can’t make this my primary jiu jitsu gym. Had a 10/10 experience with a drop in class while I was in town and will certainly go back next time I’m in the area

**Outstanding Coaches, Incredible Environment!** Longhouse Submission Grappling has been an absolute game-changer for our family. The coaching team Tessa, Brandon, and MJ are nothing short of phenomenal. They each bring their own strengths to the mats, and their passion for the sport and their students really shows in every class. Coach Tessa is incredibly encouraging and brings such a positive energy to the room. She is especially great with the younger kids, patient, motivating, and always able to bring out their best. Coach MJ is sharp, focused, and excellent at breaking down technique in a way that clicks with all skill levels. Coach Brandon in particular is an exceptional instructor and mentor. His ability to connect with kids while pushing them to grow in confidence, discipline, and skill is truly impressive. He is not just teaching jiu-jitsu, he is helping shape strong, respectful individuals. His knowledge of the sport is top-tier, and his leadership on and off the mats makes him a role model for students of all ages. If you are looking for a grappling gym with world-class instruction and a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere, Longhouse is it. Can’t recommend it enough!

Outstanding Coaching & Atmosphere I primarily train at a different academy, but whenever I’m in the area, I make sure to stop by Longhouse Submission Grappling. Coach Brandon Wilson is an exceptional instructor who not only competes and rolls with his students but also explains techniques clearly, creating a great learning environment. The gym has a welcoming atmosphere with solid training partners, and the free open mat on Saturdays is a testament to his commitment to community. Highly recommend Grappling/Jiu Jitsu, and checking it out here.

Dropped in for a couple of classes while vacationing nearby and was met with the very responsive, accommodating, and highly professional Coach Brandon. The facilities high standards of cleanliness are very apparent. His curriculum and style of instructing makes the class engaging, fun and challenging at the same time. If you are performing the movements well, you’ll know not only by the tap, but his words of encouragement. If you’re not doing it well, he takes the time to help you grasp the concepts and movements in a way you can understand and relate. Thank you coach Brandon and longhouse!

What a great group of people and athletes! If you’re near Grand Blanc and want to learn Jiu-jitsu, this is your place. From beginners to seasoned competitors, you will learn the many little details that are so important to understand the depths to jiujitsu. These guys teach with intent. They have a vision for the students success and they have a plan to help the student get there. The amount of technique here is mind blowing, I’m very grateful every time I walk on their mats.

Dropped in while in town for work and had an awesome experience. Brandon is an incredible teacher and all the students were very welcoming and fun to drill and spar with. Will for sure be back when I’m in town. Thanks to Brandon and the team for being so welcoming!

All are welcome here. I am 57 years old and haven't ever had any Jiu Jitsu training. It is a welcoming and supportive place. Show up and learn. Great coaches. Great Training partners. People of all walks of life who are looking for exercise, self defense, personal growth, competition. Well everyone has their own reasons. Everyone I have met there make it a pleasure to spend time on the mat, and just train. You can compete in tournaments, but only if you want to. You choose the journey that you want to take. Give it a shot and see if it is for you. If it is, you will be glad you came and if not, well, at least you got up and tried. I hope to see you on the mat.Gi and no Gi training are available

As someone who has trained in martial arts for well over a decade, I can honestly say that Coach Brandon is one of the best instructors I have ever studied under. He teaches a curriculum that flows logically for beginners and builds up nicely to show more advanced techniques suitable for all skill levels. His attitude, and the attitude of the community there is fun and infectious. The facility is top notch with plenty of space to roll and a nice weight/workout area as well. You will not find a better BJJ school in Michigan.

As a lifelong wrestler and someone that has trained MMA for 2.5 years, I was excited to find out that a new BJJ gym opened in Grand Blanc and knew I wanted to try out a class at Longhouse. I attended my first class and was pleasantly blown away by how knowledgeable the instructor was and the overall atmosphere of the gym. I’d recommend anyone interested in BJJ to try out a class, you’ll be happy you did.

Awesome instructors and a top notch facility! Really well thought out curriculum that flows from class to class that helps you build on the last class but still taught in a way where newcomers won't be lost in something that was covered in a previous class. Brandon is really great in making sure to cover all the little details that can make all the difference in jiu jitsu taught in a very approachable way.

Longhouse is a fantastic addition to the community and an awesome gym! The lead coach, a black belt, is incredibly patient, talented, and an outstanding teacher with great credentials (academic, military, and jiu-jitsu). Everyone, from beginners to advanced practitioners, is made to feel welcome here. The friendly and professional environment at Longhouse beats other experiences I've had by a long shot. Private lessons are available and the monthly membership is totally reasonable and offers a ton of classes at different times throughout the day and week.

The owner, Brandon, is one of the most knowledgeable practitioners in the state. As an instructor, Brandon brings with him a diverse skill set and a high level of competitive accolades. However, what separates Brandon from other instructors is his passion for the sport as well as his passion for his students. As someone who has had the privilege of learning from him, I can personally attest to his dedication and commitment to his students. I look forward to training and learning under Brandon more in the future.

I know martial arts can be intimidating so let me leave a well thought out, yet very honest review! Being a 115 lb girl with 3 years of experience and visits to multiple gyms/schools, I can confidently say that I absolutely love this place, the knowledge, and the people. Jiu Jitsu, with good technique and practice, is effective regardless of your size or gender. The classes are detailed and well understood! The instructors take time after or before class to review any questions or techniques, and everyone is very kind and very approchable, yet such savages on the mats..The instructors give time outside of class to both their students and any visitors. They truly care about each persons growth, personal goals, and the overall growth of this amazing martial art. I've cross trained at a lot of gyms and I drop in frequently here for the amazing knowledge and good vibes. If I could give it a million stars, I would! Brandon has taught me so much and has helped level up my Jiu Jitsu game so much! I consider this my second Jiu Jitsu home and if i wasnt moving over an hour away I'd be here everyday. Regardless I'll happily make the hour drive to learn super solid technique and see people I consider family. This gym is a great place to train whether you are a competitor, hobbyist, or brand new. Top notch instructors for both adults and kids! Amazing black belts coming together to service the Genesee County is the best things that could happen for the area. Even more so, they focus on technique that works on people at all levels, new or advanced, training or competing. I have utilized many techniques I've learned from them while out on the competition mats, and with great success.They train both Gi, and No-Gi. I trust the instructors knowledge of Jiu Jitsu completely. Incredibly grateful to have these amazing instructors available to Genesee County! Jiu Jitsu gave my life purpose and quite literally saved me. I will always promote the best schools in hopes that this martial art can help another as much as it's helped me, and this school is one of the best! Go try a free class and see for yourself, I'm confident you'll feel the same way! ATTN LADIES: this is a safe space for you to train, if you've been considering starting Jiu Jitsu or if you're looking for a new gym, this is it!
