At Black Flag Jiu-Jitsu, we’re known for high-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but did you know we now offer a wrestling club with classes that are open to both beginners and experienced grapplers?
When and Where?
Wrestling Club Classes are Tuesdays from 5-6 p.m & Thursdays at 4 p.m – 6 p.m at Black Flag Jiu-Jitsu.
Our wrestling open mats run on Sundays at 3 p.m through the end of summer.
More classes and times will be added as our club grows so stay tuned with our SCHEDULE
Black Flag Jiu-Jitsu Address: 21 Airport Dr, Rockford, IL 61109
Our Coaching Approach
Like our jiu-jitsu program, our wrestling club instruction is built on modern teaching methods rooted in the Constraint-Led Approach (CLA) and Ecological Dynamics. That means less drilling, more live interaction, and smarter ways to learn by doing. We believe this approach creates better grapplers, and more confident people, because it puts real-world problem-solving at the center of every session.
Wrestling is high-intensity and fast-paced, which also makes it a great way to stay in shape and burn calories. And since Black Flag emphasizes safety and proper form, it’s perfect for all fitness levels.
