Evolve Your Grappling at Grindhouse

The environment stands as a testament to their commitment to inclusivity, ensuring that students from all walks of life not only learn but thrive.” - Aaron Parham, Black Belt

At Grindhouse, we’ve translated two decades of experience with the evolution of the sport into a modern grappling system. We abandoned outdated training methods and shifted to a modern system of learning in a laid-back atmosphere.

With nearly two decades dedicated to the art, our grappling system represents the next step in the progression of grappling arts, built on broad and deep roots that span generations. We've honed our craft in Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Wrestling directly from California's Bay Area grappling elite, training alongside and earning black belts under Jiu Jitsu pioneers.

Grindhouse is a family and female-friendly space where you receive personalized instruction. We prioritize safety and helping each other learn without the emphasis on hierarchies based on belt rank. Our classes are designed to be fully accessible to all skill levels and body types, empowering you to participate, grow, and feel a true sense of belonging from your very first class.

Loved the communication! Made me feel very comfortable and less nervous. - Destini Miller, Brand New Student

Science shows that people learn best when they are having fun, given increasingly challenging tasks, and allowed to experiment with movement. We understand that everyone learns at their own pace and that learning is a messy, non-linear process. Our grappling system is built with these ideas in mind.

Active Learning

In every class, you'll engage in lively practice with friendly training partners. You will develop your own grappling style starting day on day one as you learn effective movement that works for your body type and training goals.

Personalized Feedback

Friendly and approachable coaches give you the attention you need to fine-tune your techniques, correct any mistakes, and make adjustments that work specifically for your body type, physical limitations, and skill level.

Safe Training

We prioritize both physical and emotional safety at Grindhouse. Our top concern is the safety of our training partners, and we value our inclusive, supportive culture. We have a strict no-tolerance policy for aggressive behavior and harassment.
