The coaches and everyone who goes to this club is extremely friendly and helpful. As a completely new member to any type of grappling I immediately felt like I was home when stepping in here. Every class I go to I’m learning something new and I never feel bad if I don’t know what I’m doing! The place is unbelievably clean as well.

This place is great! Was just in town for work and stopped in for some training. Great instruction. Both classes I went to were well organized and techniques were explained really clearly. I immediately was able to use some of the half guard passes we worked on!Cant say enough about how welcoming everyone was. Immediately felt at home. This is a place where everyone has fun, but still takes grappling very seriously. The best!

FVGC has a supportive team atmosphere and culture where everyone is working to improve themselves. There are 3 black belts under one roof and always new technique to learn. Add to that the excellent striking, nogi, Judo/Wresting, and Ginastica Natural fitness classes. There is something for everyone at every stage of their progression or comfort level. Ive been a member for over 3 years now, and joining up was one of the best investments Ive made in myself.

I walked into this gym as a clumsy, out of shape, 40 year-old man with asthma, severe anxiety, and a heart condition. I was a lemon. Two years later, I am in the best shape of my life, rarely use my inhaler, and am off my anxiety medication. I have competed and found success in Jiu Jitsu tournaments. This month, i will be testing for my blue belt. Looking back, this all still seems incredibly unlikely. But it happened. It is still happening. None of this would have been possible without the amazing environment cultivated by coaches James A. Peterson and Alexandra Peterson. When you walk into this gym, you will be greeted by the nicest, warmest, most supportive group of incredibly dangerous human beings imaginable. If you let them, they will help you change your life. They have turned this lemon into lemonade. They can do the same for you.

I moved here in June from Sheboygan and have never felt more at home at a gym. Not only is the staff here insanely knowledgeable, but they make you feel like family. Plus this is an excellent facility for women!

Came to the gym completely new to bjj 3months ago and was welcomed with open arms. The instructors are amazingly talented and wonderful people. There is a great group of people who train here as well. I could not have found a better atmosphere to learn a new way to push myself. If you are in the area you should stop in and check it out, you will not regret it!

I came to Team FVGC a few years back after making a commitment to myself (in my mid-30s at the time) about fitness. Now, after a couple of Fight Fit Boot Camps and starting BJJ I know I picked the right place! Wanna lose weight? They can help. Wanna get fit? Youre covered. Wanna try martial arts? Done. Wanna compete in martial arts? Boom!Team FVGC will do whatever they can to help you realize your goals.The coaching staff are knowledgeable and friendly and work hard to create an clean, safe, and motivational environment where the only limitations you have are the ones you bring with you when you walk in the door.

Dropped in while on a work trip, this is some of the best jiu jitsu Ive experienced. The class, students, and instructors made me feel invited and I learned a lot. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is interested in just getting started or if they have been practicing for years. Great job to FVGC!

Its been 4 years now that we have been members of FVGC and my whole family is involved. My 9 year old special needs son is now earning his 3 belt in childrens BJJ. It has a great experience for him...He loves going to the gym. His big brother is one belt away from maxing out in kids belts...Their parents are working BJJ...The awesome experience of being at the gym keeps our family sane....a family the chokes together stays together...

Ive been coming to this gym for about three years now. The instructors are phenomenal and do a great job of making people feel comfortable, capable, and welcomed. Training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under James and Alex (the owners/coaches) is helping me develop into a more confident and happy person. Physically and spiritually, this place is good for me.

This is the best place to train within 50 miles. I drive 45 minutes a few days a week to train with these high level fighters. There are other gyms in the area, but they are smaller gyms with low belt level instructors. FVGC has high belt level instructors (1 Brown belt and 7 Purple belts) with tournaments wins, pro mma fighters, black belts in Judo, Muay Thai, etc. If you want to not waste time and be around super encouraging people, this is the place for you. Just try out the gyms and see for yourself, if you want to achieve your goals, you should train with the best.

This gym is a second home to me. They have taught me so much, and there is still much to learn. All the people are very nice and encouraging. The instructors are very experienced.I consider this gym my family, whenever I need help the instructors help me even when I dont ask they are there to correct me. There are many classes you can take at the gym such as boxing, judo, Jiu-Jitsu, etc. THe gym is the perfect balance of serious learning and enjoyable learning. The price is just right, If I was you you I would definitely consider joining.

I was new to Jiu jitsu and was leery getting started. The instructors and the members made it a great experience. Recommend this gym to any one. My 13yr old son also attends class with me and he loves it.

When I moved to Appleton, I went looking for a martial arts gym for my kids, I simply wanted a great gym with a positive atmosphere to learn & excel. I wanted excellent instructors for my children. I could check all of those things & more off of my list with Fox Valley grappling club. My kids allbpractice jujitsu & I work out there as well and have also started adult Jiu Jitsu classes for myself! I truly could not ask for better skilled instructors for myself and my children. I am so happy I found them!

*Updates*-They have added a ginastica natural yoga class. I use it as a recovery from jiu jitsu. I feel like it has also improved my body control and has helped make my jiu jitsu better as a result.-On any given day, there is anywhere between 1-4 black belts on the mats. I dont mention this to intimidate new people from starting, I just want you to know that there are a lot of high level people here and they are more than happy to help you.I have been a member of Team FVGC since 2009. I couldnt imagine training anywhere else. The coaching staff is very knowledgeable and always progressing their games to help us stay competitive when it comes time for tournaments and mma fights. If you are looking to get into shape, Alex and Jamie can you with that in the Fight Fit class. Alex can also help you clean up your diet! There is always a friendly, family atmosphere to the gym. There is no limit to what you can accomplish here if you really apply yourself. This is easily the best, most decorated jiu jitsu and mma academy in the Valley.

Review №36

I train at this gym four days a week - chiefly in Brazilian jiu jitsu and muay Thai.I dont know where to begin. This is a one-stop shop for many martial arts disciplines - other gyms can boast this too, but I dont know of many others in the area where those who will be teaching you have the range of experience and proven success in competition that the instructors here do.Brazilian jiu jitsu? You will be learning from people with years of experience and multiple medals in national level tournaments.Muay Thai? Taught by a Duke Roufus black belt with professional muay thai fights under his belt.Judo? Taught by an All-American wrestler with international level competition experience (and hugely successful) in wrestling, judo, and sambo. That is the short version.You see where Im going with this. I havent even touched on the boot camp style workouts you can take part in to improve your conditioning, or the emerging kids program here. As an adult, you can take part in intense workouts that will get you into great shape and drastically improve your skill set in a wide range of disciplines. The owners who run this academy now have made FVGC the best it has ever been - check this place out.

Truly a family-friendly atmosphere. We train together. Our kids play together. We help each other grow. This is the best place to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) in Appleton, WI. The Fight Fit Boot Camp is an excellent way to supplement your training. Whether its a kettlebell workout or cardio kickboxing, you will find it here. All are welcome.

New update...my youngest has started training in BJJ he has Downs. You cannot imagine the thrill it is to see his face light up when he knows he is going to the gym. He has earned his second stripe on his white belt and pumped....Thanks guys...It started off as a way for my son who has hd-ad to learn to concentrate and to improve his self confidence. It worked out great he has been at it for almost 3 years. In the meantime we had a family emergency and everyone at the gym was there for us. Helped us get thru a horrble time. Its a great big family. Then the wife and I decided to go to their MMA bootcamp and it grows and grows. Now all three of us jiu-jitsu and our special needs child will begin when he is 8. You want a family oriented no judgement place to train with the best instructors in WI...its on college ave here in Appleton...you can believe me....Its the best.....
