The Grapple Den is an organization for Players who enjoy fighting, wrestling, struggle, exertion, and
hands-on physical sport and play. We promote and encourage physical excellence, combattive activities,
and safely driving the body toward its limits.

We promote:
1. Striving for Physical Excellence
Condition your body to the best of your ability. Perform well, function at fullest capacity, and look good while doing it, even in the face of adversity.

2. Play at Combattive Activities
Struggle for dominance. Earn your power. Submit only when you have no other choice.

3. Play Safely, Sanely, and Sportingly
You need to be able to walk away and play again tomorrow. No one likes to lose playing and training time due to injury. No one likes a strike thrown in anger.

We hold grappling practices twice per week: Wednesdays and Sundays.
These practices, aka "training sessions," are the regular meetings for our organization.
If you are new to Grapple Den but are interested in getting involved, we invite you to come visit us at one of our training sessions. Serious first-time inquirers are welcome to watch one practice.

We meet at:
