Grapplers Lair

Absolutely love how they work with the little ones. My baby is so excited to go to class every time, and is so ready to show everyone what he learned. We love how patient the staff is with the kids. My son loves it when he gets to help, or show someone how to do something. If your looking for a good place to start training your little ones I definitely recommend Grapplers Lair.

If you're looking for an environment that is judgemental free and everyone is nice, welcoming, and friendly... then the Grapplers Lair is the place for you! I'm not an active person, and If I feel people staring at me I'll stop but not here I feel very comfortable . The Coaches are so awesome and encouraging and very helpful for all ages! My kids and I love the Grapplers Lair!

We were blessed to be able to be a part of this gym for the short time that we lived I TX. My son loved this gym and the they made a big impact on us as a family. Best gym ever!

This program exceeds expectations. Coach Shayla not only imparts fighting skills but also cultivates respect, manners, and essential social skills like maintaining eye contact during handshakes. It's truly remarkable!

Grapplers lair has been awesome to me. Their coaches are exceptional, the overall vibe is great and I have had nothing but good experiences. I definitely recommend them to my friends and family. See you on the mats!

Started a month ago here at grapplers lair and there are a few places closer but none of them care about the kids they way they do here. I look forward to seeing how my son grows through this program 🥰

Exceptional gym with great leaders. Highly recommend Coach TJ for anyone wanting train.

Patient coaches who are passionate about their sport! They teach respect alongside important self defense techniques I trust my children to be better than they were the training before! All classes at every level are great for beginners and advanced alike!

TJ Walburger and his wife Shayla are truly some of the nicest people period!
My grandson not only has learned quality high end jujitsu
From a decorated UFC veteran but also valuable life lessons and leadership skills!
I’m so glad that my grandson will have skills to protect himself and family better than most!

I found Grappler’s Lair as a UMHB student doing the Jiu Jitsu class taught by TJ! This is by far the best gym i’ve ever been to. The training is top tier and every time I walk into the gym I feel like i’m with family. Wouldn’t trade my experience there for the world!!

We love the Grappler’s Lair! The gym is clean, the coaches and staff are friendly, motivating, and extremely knowledgeable. Hands down the best place to train in town for children and adults. Also have you seen the uniforms?! Are you kidding… so sharp!

I ❤ this gym! TJ, Shayla, and their team are incredibly knowledgeable and make me feel like family every time I walk in the doors!

Awesome experience!
Our 5 year old son had a wonderful time and learned a lot during his time with Coach TJ.
They keep their facility clean.
The staff is great! Easy to communicate, honest, and cares for their community.
We are moving and hope we can find a BJJ facility as good as Grapplers Lair.
Thank you all for serving us this last year!

Come join the family!

Seriously, you couldn’t find a better gym. I can’t wait till my kids are old enough to get them enrolled!
