Ultimo Submission Grappling

Ultimo Submission Grappling in Merced is guided by an experienced black belt instructor who emphasizes steady progress and practical skill-building. The academy operates as a small, focused training space where students receive individual attention rather than being lost in large groups. The philosophy centers on learning through asking questions and maintaining safety during drills, with careful attention to hygiene and injury prevention. Training covers both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for adults, alongside wrestling and striking disciplines like kickboxing. Kids have their own classes in gi and no-gi BJJ as well as kickboxing, allowing younger practitioners to develop fundamentals in a structured environment. Open mat sessions are available for all students to drill and spar freely, supporting ongoing improvement outside of formal classes. Membership is straightforward, with flat-rate monthly plans and no long-term contracts. Students are encouraged to cross-train and explore other gyms as part of their growth. The academy also maintains a clean and accessible facility, including wheelchair access, and emphasizes respect in both training and personal conduct. This approach reflects the instructor’s belief that consistent effort and mutual respect build solid grappling skills over time.
