About grapplers.club

A privacy-first community platform for BJJ and grappling clubs. Built by people who train, for people who train.

What it is

grapplers.club gives every grappling club a private home on the internet. Each club gets its own subdomain (yourclub.grapplers.club), its own member list, its own training data — completely separate from every other club on the platform.

Members RSVP to sessions, log every roll, build training streaks, challenge each other to spar, and coordinate open mats with grapplers from other clubs via the Throwdown board. None of it leaves the club without explicit opt-in.

Why it exists

Most BJJ clubs run on a duct-taped patchwork of WhatsApp groups, Facebook events, and a coach's memory. Members can't find the schedule. Coaches can't see who's been on the mats. Newcomers feel lost. The data nobody owns disappears when the group chat scrolls off.

We wanted something built for what a grappling club actually is — small, private, full of inside jokes and broken pinkies. Not a social network. Not a SaaS dashboard. A clubhouse.

Privacy-first, by default

No ads. No third-party trackers. No Google Analytics, no Facebook pixel, no advertising networks. The only server your browser talks to is ours.

Your training logs, RSVPs, member list and messages are private to your club by default. Search engines never crawl them. Other clubs can't see them. Admins can opt in to a public schedule view if they want, but that's the only thing outsiders ever see — and the choice is theirs.

Delete your account and the data is gone immediately. No 30-day grace period. No "we keep a backup for compliance". Gone.

Who built it

grapplers.club is built and maintained by a small independent team of grapplers. We pay for the servers ourselves. There are no investors, no advertising deals, no growth-at-all-costs incentives pulling the product in directions that hurt members.

The project is in active development — features ship every week. If you want to influence what gets built next, the best way is to register your club, use it for a month, and tell us what's missing.

How to get started

Register your club at grapplers.club. Pick a subdomain, invite your members, you're done. The free tier covers small clubs comfortably; paid tiers exist for bigger crews. No credit card required to register.
