Grapplers Lair — Local services in Belton

Mostly a nice gym but it only takes one thug to ruin a gym. One of their grapplers i think John is his name got frustrated during a grappling match and resorted to torqueing a neck crank super hard and i literally heard my neck pop. Neck cranks can really injure a person especially when done recklessly like a Neanderthal and cranking or applying submissions with anger and with no control is very dangerous behavior. Jiu jitsu is a very safe martial art to practice when done with control and a cool head, but when done with anger, no control, and brute force, can really hurt or injure your practice partner. The gym is to practice, which implies long term commitment and u cant do BJJ long term and practice if you're getting severely injured by inconsiderate lunkhead grapplers every time you're there. It was an overall good time but the fact that some of the grapplers are just meatheads and that the instructor allows that kind of dangerous behavior is really unnacceptable and ruined what would've been a wonderful experience for me. So I wouldn't recommend it to anyone i cared about. Careless grapplers lead to serious injuries. Above all else control is important. This gym gets a thumbs down from me. The fact that happened on my first day and that the instructor allowed it is very unnacceptable. I wouldn't want my friends to go there much less any women...

Words can’t describe how much the Grappler’s Lair has changed my life. I have been a member since 2018 and I have enjoyed every moment of it. I started off with little to no fighting knowledge and my experience level has grown drastically since. My discipline, focus, and confidence levels have improved as well. TJ is a great coach and is skilled in many different areas. The thing I like the most about the gym is that Coach TJ will roll with anyone and is super down to Earth. It’s not a class that separates you by skill level either. No matter who you are, you can roll/spar with anyone (results will vary). Never have a bad experience and I don’t feel the same when I’m away from the lair. Plus their growth is amazing, I am so...
