At Grapple Box, we understand that technical skills development can sometimes feel overwhelming or stagnant. That’s why we use Grounded Language Learning as a foundation to guide you through a comprehensive roadmap of martial arts. Our Head Sensei, Chris Reymann, has spent over 25 years learning martial arts and understands the frustration of feeling lost and disconnected from moves out of context, especially while traveling abroad. After returning to the United States from 7 years in Rio, Chris met Jeremy Lieberman, the Godfather of A.I. and Grounded Language Learning. Chris then spent 15 years studying under John Danaher in the blue basement at Renzo Gracie Academy in New York City, where he learned how to apply Grounded Language Learning to a systematic approach for learning martial arts. John Danaher’s students achieved countless championships using his methodologies, and he even explained the importance of Grounded Language Learning on The Lex Friedman Podcast. This same system is what we utilize at Grapple Box LLC to ensure that you never feel lost or stagnant in your martial arts learning journey.
Chris Reyman is a knowledgeable, patient and efficient instructor that I have had the pleasure to work with for many years during my Brazilian Jujitsu career. His love for the sport has helped inspire me to pursue Brazilian Jujitsu as a career myself. Even though Chris and I no longer extensively work together I take many of the lessons and values he has taught me into life with me today. Chris is an overall wonderful instructor and taking his classes will only do you good.
Professor Chris Reyman is a phenomenal instructor and practitioner. He has been studying the Brazilian Jujitsu/grappling game for well over a decade under Renzo and John Danaher and continues to teach and train daily. Chris is a phenomenal black belt and has been a great training partner for me over the years. As a fellow black belt instructor, I am impressed by Chris’s knowledge, dedication and continued study of the art. He has trained with some the best in the world and due to his continued study of the game, he has a vast understanding of modern, cutting-edge techniques. He has an amazing understanding of wrestling and mma as well as gi and no-gi bjj. If you’re looking for a qualified, knowledgeable instructor, look no further.
