About Us
We founded Appalachian Grapplers as a non-profit in 2024 out of our love for grappling in all forms. We envisioned a welcoming place where people come together to train, learn from each other, and grow — all at a low cost and with no contracts.
Our instructors volunteer their time to teach classes and oversee open mat sessions, ensuring that all proceeds go back into the club.
What We Are
- Primarily Jiu Jitsu with some Wrestling and Judo techniques.
- Old-school approach - we start standing and work for submissions.
- Multiple instructors offering diverse styles and perspectives.
- Regular guest instruction from outside experts.
- We participate in competitions about 3x per year as a team.
- Respectful but informal - no unnecessary rituals or formalities.
- No contracts - come and go as you please.
