What is Grappling?
Grappling, in hand-to-hand combat, is the act of holding, throwing or submitting an opponent. Grappling encompasses martial arts like jiu jitsu, judo and wrestling and has been proven to be among the most effective forms of self defence training. Apart from the physical benefits, grappling teaches you how to stay calm under pressure: We strive to build champions on the mat and in life. The Amsterdam Grappling Academy was founded with the idea of sharing an experience of training, camaraderie and physical & mental health. We will teach you the all-round grappling arts on the highest level, from takedowns to leg locks.
