Our Story
Building confidence, discipline, and real grappling skill — one session at a time.
At Forge House Grappling Co., we believe martial arts are more than just techniques on the mat. They're a path to personal growth, self-discipline, and lifelong confidence.
Founded in Marion, Iowa, our academy provides a positive, structured environment where students of all ages and experience levels can develop real grappling skill through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo.
Whether you're a parent looking for a program that builds character in your child, or an adult seeking a challenging new pursuit, Forge House is the place to grow.
Consistent effort and structured training build habits that carry beyond the mat.
Every training partner is valued. We cultivate a culture of mutual respect and sportsmanship.
Progress is personal. We meet every student where they are and help them level up.
Forge House is a family. We train together, support each other, and celebrate every win.
We're not just a gym — we're a training community built on real martial arts values.
Our coaches bring years of competition and teaching experience to every class.
Programs designed for youth and adults, from first-timers to seasoned grapplers.
Structured programs in Gi, No-Gi, Judo, and more — with clear paths to progress.
Experienced instructors dedicated to helping you reach your potential.
