Welcome To Boardwine Grappling
Boardwine Grappling Academy exists to provide unique knowledge, training and personal growth for women, men, and K-12 students in the realm of grappling. We provide access to thoughtfully-created, specialized Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling and Conditioning programs that will help you reach your untapped potential.
Who Is This For?
Are you looking to quickly improve your Jiu-Jitsu or Self-Defense? Do you have hopes of winning a school-based State Title in Wrestling and earning a scholarship to college? Maybe you are looking to take your fitness to the next level? We can help you get there by providing a unique opportunity to learn elite, specialized techniques, tactics and training from experts in the field. We are the opposite of the OSFA (One-Size-Fits-All) approach.
Our training and development programs are specifically built for those focused on … rapid improvement in Jiu-Jitsu and self-defense; grapplers who lack the knowledge of how to integrate their skills into a complete package; high school wrestlers trying to win State and National Championships; and wrestling integration in Mixed Martial Arts. Our youth Jiu-Jitsu and Wrestling program give young students an ideal grappling, self-defense and fitness foundation for the future.
Boardwine Grappling Academy is a unique school offering a specialized combination of knowledge and training. Our students have an advantage over traditional BJJ-only, Wrestling-only, Self-Defense-only and S&C-only (strength/Conditioning) academies.
