Such a welcoming and friendly environment! The instructors are genuinely lovely and approachable people. There’s a really strong sense of community, especially amongst the parents and families, and everyone is so supportive and friendly. You can really tell there’s a great atmosphere and a strong community behind The Grappling Lab!
Amazing place for kids and adults to train. Nate, and the trainers are very kind and supportive. My kids enjoy coming, with recognisable improvements with their confidence, strength and overall skills in BJJ, thank you TGL fam!
Easily one of the best gyms I've been to - the coach has immense care for everyone and the culture is fantastic. Can't recommend this gym enough for anyone wanting to try it out
Genuinely the most open, welcoming and performance focused gym I have had the pleasure of training in. Absolutely the best place to train in Sydney and one of the best in the country.
I have trained in many places around Australia thanks to work; I have never found a place or coaching team that have the technical ability and the coaching skill that Nate and his team have.
If you’re thinking about starting BJJ, this is the place to do it. Nate and the entire coaching team are exceptional, knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve, regardless of experience. The culture is incredibly welcoming, making it easy to feel comfortable from day one. Plenty of classes to choose from, which made it easy for me to fit training around my schedule. Highly Recommended !
The Grappling Lab Prestons is an amazing gym with a welcoming and supportive environment for people of all ages and experience levels. The coaches are highly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about helping everyone improve, whether you're stepping onto the mats for the first time or preparing to compete.
The atmosphere is friendly and respectful, making it a great place to train and build confidence. The classes are well structured, the facility is always clean, and there is a strong sense of community among the members.
I've not only improved my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills here, but I've also made great friendships and become part of an incredible team. If you're looking for a gym that combines high quality coaching with a positive culture, I highly recommend
Very friendly and extremely attentive.
My child wanted to try some thing new and the introductory class sold him, instantly. The level of care the instructors have with the children were beyond my expectations. They are very clear whilst stern.
Pricing is extremely fair, all while accepting active kids vouchers.
If you're thinking about BJJ, please try out the class and you will realise why I'm giving such praise. Adults or kids, have a crack!
I trialed a BJJ class here and had a great experience. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly, which made it easy to feel comfortable. The atmosphere was supportive and positive. Thank you to the team there!
My 6-year-old has been doing jiu jitsu at The Grappling Lab and it has been such a wonderful experience. She has gained so much confidence, made new friends, and is always excited to go to class. The coaches are patient, encouraging, and create a fun but structured environment where the kids feel safe to learn and grow. It’s been amazing to watch her develop new skills, both on the mat and in everyday life. Highly recommend The Grappling Lab for any families looking to build confidence, discipline, and a strong sense of community in their kids!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
