20:30 GRAPPLING TUES & THURS 🤼♂️
Are the other grappling classes too busy for you? And do you want to wrestle more?
Every Tuesday and Thursday we run a 20:30-21:30 grappling class.
They're less crowded, ensuring more space on the mats for wrestling, more personal attention from the coach and time to ask lots of questions.
It's also a perfect option for those who work late, prefer training nogi over gi or just simply want to training later in the day.
