The mission of the Appalachian Grapplers Association, Inc. is to provide accessible, low-cost jiu jitsu and grappling instruction, facilities, and equipment for individuals aged 16 and above in the Appalachian region. As a club, we foster a network of communities with loose affiliations, allowing us to operate independently from a traditional jiu jitsu school hierarchies and financial obligations. This structure enables us to focus on the fundamental principles and techniques of grappling and the well being of our members. Through our supportive, interconnected communities and commitment to effective training, we promote physical wellness, personal development, resilience, and connection among our participants.
