A note on this profile
This page is a public-source profile of The Grappling Institute. I haven't visited yet — when I do, this page will be updated with first-person notes on the roll, the room, the coaching style, the kids program (one of my kids may come along when we start scouting where they'll begin), and the drop-in process. If you're reading this and you run The Grappling Institute, I'd love to coordinate a visit.
