Grappling

The Grappling Club meets twice per week for two hours of wrestling, grappling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and a strong cardio workout throughout the school year.  We will offer both Gi and no Gi practice as the competitions we compete in offer both.  No experience is necessary. All we need is a desire to work hard in a competitive atmosphere.

Head Coach: AJ Panebianco 
Assistant Coach: David Henson
