Grapple Labs

Grapple Labs in Orpington centres its training on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with a clear emphasis on structured progression and a supportive atmosphere. Founded and led by brown belt coaches Alykhan Tejani, Shafeen Tejani, and George Grainger, alongside purple belt Lucca Pratelli, the academy focuses on steady development at every level. Located at The Fitness Link on High Street, it serves the local community by offering accessible classes for adults, teens, and children, reflecting a commitment to fostering skills from beginner stages through more advanced practice. Training at Grapple Labs is organised around both gi and no-gi formats, with a particular focus on no-gi sessions for adults held twice weekly. Kids and teens train exclusively in the gi, with age-appropriate classes that combine technical instruction, partner drills, and controlled sparring where suitable. The kids’ classes incorporate games-based warm-ups and fun challenges to build coordination and confidence, while teen sessions emphasise strength, mobility, and positional training. Coaches maintain a strong safeguarding policy, ensuring all young practitioners train safely under the supervision of DBS-checked and first aid-trained instructors. The schedule supports a consistent routine for members, including Tuesday and Thursday evening no-gi sessions for adults, and Saturday morning gi classes for younger students. The academy welcomes drop-in students and encourages newcomers to try a free trial before committing. With a straightforward approach to training and a focus on technical clarity, Grapple Labs offers a practical environment for those in Greater London looking to develop their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills.
