About Us
Something for Everyone!
Ashtabula Grappling Club (AGC) offers Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training for kids as young as 4-5 years old through adults of all ages.
AGC offers classes in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that are geared towards both sport and self defense jiu jitsu. We have classes every day of the week except for Sunday. We also have strength and conditioning sessions throughout the week to help individuals meet their goals of improving their health, weight loss, mobility, and stamina.
Why a grappling club? Why in Ashtabula?
We decided to open our own gym in the area so that people could have a place to train in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere. We all trained together for a few years and were fortunate enough to be able to experience the atmospheres at different gyms and were able to see what things we liked and what we didn’t, as well as the conditions that fostered a healthy gym environment.
Our Atmosphere
We strive to offer an all-inclusive, low pressure atmosphere for anyone and everyone interested in training jiu jitsu. We know that no 2 people come in with the same personal goals. Whether a person is interested in improving their health, learning jiu jitsu as a hobby, learning jiu jitsu as a form of self-defense, or becoming a competitive jiu jitsu athlete, we give everyone the individual attention they need. With a tight-knit group of 5 people who have been in each of these situations at one point or another, we have the ability to give everyone who walks through the door the opportunity they need. One of the best parts of training jiu jitsu is the family atmosphere that forms between people who would never otherwise have met. We want everyone to feel welcome, valued, and supported.
