Grapple Jiu Jitsu

Grapple Jiu Jitsu operates at 1576 Old Fannin Road, Suite D in Brandon, Mississippi, serving students throughout Flowood, Brandon, and neighboring Mississippi communities. Founded and directed by owner and head coach J.C. Hiatt, the martial arts school focuses on practical submission grappling and ground fighting principles without traditional gi kimonos. Instruction at the academy centers on modern submission wrestling mechanics, incorporating takedowns, guard passing, positional control, and joint submissions. Coach Hiatt emphasizes an open, ego-free learning environment where students develop technical problem-solving skills through active games-based learning and situational sparring rounds on the mats. The school provides structured programs designed for youth and adult practitioners. Offerings include Grapple Kids for ages 7 to 12 alongside adult jiu-jitsu and wrestling sessions. Training helps students build physical fitness, situational confidence, and effective self-defense capabilities through progressive drilling repetitions and supervised rolling.
