Joburg Grappling Club

A new way to keep fit and learn self defence! Jamie is the best!

True to the name, this is a club devoted to the art of grappling in all of its glorious forms. From Judo to BJJ, with the Gi and without the Gi, to wrestling. A true gem to the local grappling scene.

A great club with a great culture! Highly recommend!

Very professional yet very personal classes. Absolutely love the smaller classes as I get way more attention from the coaches. Coaches are extremely passionate and have a known track-record in elite competition. Rare to find practitioners of this caliber that given as much attention to students of all belt levels.

Fantastic grappling gym! While the focus is on BJJ (gi and no-gi), there are also elements of Judo and wrestling taught, so your all-round grappling game will grow massively! The head coach is Professor Jamie Gemmell and the Judo lessons are taken by Sensei Dyce Fulton of Kazuno Judo, both of whom are hugely experienced both as competitors and instructors, so you’re in the best hands possible! The class sizes are capped so that there is always a high level of individual attention during the sessions, ensuring that each grappler is developing as much as possible. The combination of Jamie’s teaching with the family ethos means that whether you’re a serious competitor or a causal hobbyist, this is the place for you!

Warm and welcoming family. Beginner friendly. Highly recommend.

Great fun with great people! Good teaching of techniques with individual attention due to limited class size.

Such a great club and team to learn the grappling arts, particularly BJJ and Judo. Great coacing all around , from playful kids classes to high-level competition training you will find everything you wish for.Beautiful and clean facilities, respectful members and a great atmosphere.
