Our Story
We Don’t Create Hobbies — We Create Legacies
Blue Collar Grappling Academy was built on working-class values. Founders Chase Smith and Nathan met in 2018 and opened BCGA to bring quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to Crittenden County — building the gym while holding down full-time jobs, and living the discipline they teach.
We’re proud members of the Pedigo Submission Fighting Association. Our classes teach self-defense, competition jiu-jitsu, and personal fitness — but most importantly, we grow together as a community and have fun doing it.
Our attention to detail rivals no other, because we never stop improving and we push others to do the same. Come meet the family — we can’t wait to help you build something that lasts.
