The Grappling Club is a growing community in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Come try a free class and experience all the benefits of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and submission grappling without any of the drama and politics of a bigger gym or academy. Started by lifelong friends and Brooklynites, the club is open for training to anyone regardless of skill level or affiliation. Alex Bednenko is a brown belt under Josh Griffiths (Clockwork BJJ). After spending many years as an instructor at Clockwork BJJ, Alex moved to Western Pennsylvania, where he became a Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor at High Ground Jiu-Jitsu, and a submission wrestling coach at Penn Hills MMA.
