23×South Dakota Submission
Challenge Champion
weight class and open
  • South Dakota's 23-time Submission Challenge Champion (weight class and open)
  • 15+ years on the mat

I have taught seminars across South Dakota and Minnesota and as far as Nassau, Bahamas; Saint-Georges, Quebec; and Hanoi, Vietnam. I built this room to be the one I always wanted to train in: safe, clean, and honest, where a first-timer and a competitor share the same mat.

Purple Belt · Instructor · Youth Program

One of the first Purple Belts we promoted in house.

  • Family man and small business owner
  • A wealth of grappling experience

Tyler helps develop our youth program and coaches the kids classes. He came up in house, one of our first purple belts, and he brings the patience that turns a nervous first day into a habit.

The coaches who round out the week, from Sunday takedowns to the early no-gi rounds before work.

Folkstyle Wrestling

Coach Kole & Coach Kris

Kole and Kris run the Sunday wrestling class, the takedowns and top pressure that make the grappling game complete.

5AM No-Gi

Noah

Noah runs the 5AM no-gi rounds on Tuesday and Thursday, by appointment, for the before-work crowd.

Your first class is free. The fastest way to know if a room is right is to step on the mat and roll with the people in it.
