About
“The Grappling Lab” is a martial arts training facility located in Prestons, NSW. Specialising in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the academy offers a range of programmes suitable for individuals of all ages and skill levels.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a highly effective combat system that has been proven time and time again in mixed martial arts competitions. It emphasises leverage and technique, allowing practitioners to overcome larger opponents regardless of strength. The Grappling Lab offers both Gi Jiu-Jitsu (with a uniform) and No Gi Jiu-Jitsu (without a uniform) classes to cater to different preferences.
In addition to its effectiveness as a self-defence system, BJJ offers a host of other benefits. Students can expect to improve their physical fitness, lose weight, gain strength, and enhance their mobility through regular training. Furthermore, BJJ has been shown to have positive effects on mental health, helping individuals cope with stress and build resilience in challenging situations.
” The Grappling Lab” boasts a team of qualified and experienced instructors who are dedicated to providing the highest quality of instruction. The adult Jiu-Jitsu programmes offer comprehensive classes for individuals aged 14 and above. These classes include skill-based warm-ups, technique instruction, and live rolling sessions under the supervision of instructors.
For younger practitioners, the academy offers kids' Jiu-Jitsu programmes that incorporate fun and engaging activities to develop coordination and physical attributes necessary for BJJ. These classes are supervised by qualified instructors to ensure a safe and nurturing environment for children.
For those seeking a more personalised approach, “The Grappling Lab” also offers private one-on-one sessions. These sessions, available in both Gi and No-Gi, provide an opportunity to accelerate learning and address specific areas of improvement.
