Memento Mori Grappling Club

Memento Mori Grappling Club operates a martial arts training facility located at 6650 Crescent St #10 in Ventura, California. The gym provides weekly classes for both adults and children, offering instruction across Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, and Muay Thai. Prospective students can call or text (805) 232-5599 to try free introductory classes. The training philosophy emphasizes standing grappling techniques alongside ground fighting. Students develop skills drawn from catch wrestling, judo, and Jiu Jitsu, focusing on takedown mechanics with support from training partners who wrestled at a high school and college level. Rather than running a traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu warmup, mat time is dedicated directly to rolling and positional drilling. Instruction incorporates leglocks across every belt rank, allowing leglocks at every belt level. The academy also hosts open mats every single day without restricting mat time to a single hour, providing open training rounds where grapplers collaborate to refine their technique.
