Grappling Gamers

Grappling Gamers is a family-owned arcade and martial arts program teaching the Machado Method in Iowa Park, Texas, located about 20 minutes from Wichita Falls. The facility combines an arcade—used for weekend birthday parties and Friday Parents Night Out events—with more than 1,000 square feet of upstairs mat space and four changing booths. Instruction is taught by Bruce Whitfield, who brings nine years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training and three years of youth coaching experience under the Machado Method of 8th-degree coral belt Master Carlos Machado. Programs include an After School Martial Arts & Anti-Bully Program for kindergarten through 5th grade (featuring bus drop-off from Kidwell at 3:30 PM and Bradford at 4:00 PM, a 4:15–5:00 PM Machado Method class, snacks, and Friday arcade/dodgeball/Nerf games) and an Adult Jiu-Jitsu Program meeting Monday/Wednesday for No-Gi and Tuesday/Thursday for Gi from 6:00 to 7:00 PM.
