What We Teach
World-class coaching across all major grappling arts under one roof.
The gentle art. Master ground control, positional dominance, and a comprehensive submission game through progressive technique and live sparring.
Fast-paced, dynamic grappling without the gi. Develop speed, scrambles, and adaptability with modern leg lock and upper body submission systems.
Takedowns, clinch work, and top control. Build an unstoppable wrestling base that elevates every other aspect of your grappling game.
Training Programs
Structured programs designed for every age, experience level, and goal.
Fun, safe, and structured. Children develop confidence, coordination, discipline and self-defence skills in a positive environment that builds character alongside technique.
Bridge the gap between youth and adult training. Teens receive focused technical instruction with increased intensity, competition prep, and leadership development.
Full curriculum covering all disciplines at multiple skill levels. Whether your goal is fitness, self-defence, or competition — our adult programme delivers results.
A dedicated, welcoming space for women to train. Build strength, technique, and confidence in a supportive female-only environment with experienced coaching.
Never trained before? Perfect. Our beginner programme strips everything back to fundamentals — safety, basic positions, escapes and submissions — in a zero-pressure setting.
Why Rise Grappling
Rise Grappling Academy was built on a simple belief: that grappling transforms people. Whether you step on the mats to compete, to get fit, to learn self-defence, or simply for the love of the sport — we will meet you where you are.
Our coaches have competed and trained at the highest levels, and they bring that knowledge directly to every class. Small class sizes mean more mat time, more feedback, and faster progress.
