About us
No contracts. No ego.
No nonsense.
We’re Matt and Rachael Williams. We started Appalachian Grapplers in 2024 to give Mt. Airy an affordable place to train. We help you learn the techniques and practice with a partner.
We proudly train under Kelly Wilmore and Jared Lorenz with Sandman BJJ in Grayson County.
We take the training seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We joke around, laugh a lot, and look after each other. New faces are welcome here, whether it’s your first class or you’ve been training for years.
We train NoGi: wear shorts and a rash guard. A T-shirt is fine if you don’t have a rash guard. No gi needed.
More about our training & instructors
- NoGi focus. We train under BJJ rules, with techniques drawn from BJJ, Wrestling, and Judo.
- Old-school. Submissions over scoring points.
- Our instructors. A husband-and-wife team in the Marcelo Garcia lineage.
- Team comps. We compete together 2-3x a year.
- Informal. Respectful, but no rituals or formalities.
- Cross-train. Training at other gyms is welcomed.
