Scrapyard Grappling

Scrapyard Grappling, also known as The Scrapyard, is a No-Gi submission grappling academy located at 8442A Lee Highway in Fairfax, VA. The gym structures classes with the Constraints Led Approach (CLA), using games in which each player has tasks to fulfill, and its No-Gi grappling combines Wrestling, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, and Sambo. Coach Tyler Murphy began grappling in December 2012 under Kyle Dalton, trained at High Noon starting in 2018, and earned his Jiu Jitsu black belt in 2023 from Tim Dawson and Matt Miller after competing in ADCC Trials, Fight 2 Win, IBJJF, Grappling Industries, Newbreed, Copa Nova, and NAGA events. Youth classes are coached by purple belt Stephanie Metzger, who holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in education and offers bilingual Spanish instruction. The Fairfax schedule includes an adult Intro Program, adult No-Gi grappling classes, and two youth programs for ages 4 to 12: Little Dawgs on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and Homeskool Dawgs on Wednesday afternoons.
