Welcome to Grappling Ronin, the first donation-based, open source Jiu Jitsu gym in Iowa! We believe that Jiu Jitsu should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation or affiliation.

 

At Grappling Ronin, we have a unique open source open mat style of training. We learn from from everyone we step on the mats with and any instructors we want to learn from. This means that you'll have the opportunity to train with a wide range of skilled practitioners from different affiliations and backgrounds, and learn from their unique experiences.

​

We offer exclusive seminars with top-level athletes and instructors, giving our members the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the world. We also host retreats and other special events that allow our members to deepen their understanding of Jiu Jitsu and build lasting friendships.

​

Our donation-based model allows us to provide affordable training to people from all walks of life. So if you're looking for a gym that values community, affordability, and opportunity, come train with us at Grappling Ronin. Download our app and Sign up for a free trial class today! Training communication is done via our Facebook group or through the app. You can also donate to our cause of sharing Jiu Jitsu with as many people as possible.
