Longhouse Submission Grappling

Longhouse Submission Grappling brings Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and submission grappling training to 12793 S Saginaw St Ste C-2 in Grand Blanc, MI, with a lineup that serves both new students and seasoned grapplers. The academy’s core offerings include Adult No-Gi, No-gi Submission Grappling, Gi Jiu Jitsu, NoGi Submission Grappling, Open Mat, Open Rolling, and NoGi Open Mat, along with Kids Jiu Jitsu, Kids Gi Jiu Jitsu, and Kids NoGi Grappling. That mix gives families and individual athletes a wide range of ways to train under one roof, while the martial arts school setting keeps the focus on practical skill development and steady progression. The website, https://www.longhousesg.com/, gives students a direct place to explore the academy’s training options and connect with the gym.

Instruction is led by Brandon Wilson, Tim Washburn, and Justin McHugh, with black belts offered in the academy’s technical environment. For students, that combination suggests a high standard of coaching across both gi and no-gi work, with room for beginners to build fundamentals and experienced practitioners to sharpen timing, pressure, and control. The class structure points to a training culture that values consistent mat time, live rolling, and the kind of practical repetition that helps techniques hold up under resistance. Whether a student is stepping onto the mats for the first time or preparing for more advanced sparring, the program mix supports a clear path for growth.

Longhouse Submission Grappling also stands out for its training space and on-site conveniences. The academy features 2,000+ sq ft mat space, a dry sauna, showers, modern showers, a pro shop, lockers, a weight area, snacks and dining area, and a custom Viking mural that gives the gym a distinct identity. Those details matter for everyday training: students can change, store gear, recover after hard rounds, and move from drilling to conditioning without leaving the facility. The weight area adds another practical advantage for athletes looking to complement grappling with strength work.

For the local BJJ community in Grand Blanc, this academy offers a balanced environment that combines structured instruction with an open training culture. The presence of both kids’ and adult classes makes it easy for families to train together, while the no-gi and gi options give students flexibility in how they approach the art. With experienced instructors, multiple mat-based formats, and a facility built for regular use, Longhouse Submission Grappling offers a straightforward, well-equipped place to train consistently and improve over time.
