About Appalachian Grapplers

We're a non-profit jiu-jitsu club in Mount Airy, NC - NoGi grappling with wrestling and judo mixed in. No contracts, no belt fees, no nonsense. Memberships start at $35/month for youth and $50/month for adults, with every dollar going back into the club.

We train Tuesday and Thursday evenings with open mat on Saturdays. Youth classes (ages 8-13) run 6-7pm, adult classes (14+) run 7-8:30pm. If you're not sure about committing, we offer a flex pass - six sessions over a year for $50.

Our style leans old-school: submissions over points, respect without the formality. We've got 50+ members, multiple instructors with different backgrounds, and a gym culture built around actually helping each other get better. Come try a class.
