Growing up as a passionate mixed martial artist, I've always noticed a significant gap in the structure of gym curriculum. One of the biggest challenges I faced—especially during my high school wrestling days and my early journey into Jiu-Jitsu—was as a beginner, going home and struggling to visualize the techniques we had covered in class.
This is where the idea for Grapple came from, the need for a unified platform where students could go and review current techniques being taught. It eliminates the frustration of spending countless hours searching online for the same techniques, only to be met with disorganized and unclear resources. Mixed martial arts is a unique sport where every coach brings their own set of tips, tricks, and insights that are unique to each individual gym, and Grapple now makes it possible to access those techniques virtually.
Grapple is more than just a learning platform. It helps coaches stay connected with their students outside the gym, simplifies membership management, and boosts your gym's visibility through the public profile feature. Additionally, it provides the opportunity to create a new revenue stream by offering virtual memberships. Empowering coaches to expand their reach and share their expertise beyond their local community.
Whether you're just starting out, running a gym, or refining your skills to become a better competitor, I hope Grapple becomes the resource you've been searching for. Let Grapple take you to the next level of greatness.
