Grappling near Sotogrande

TRAIN WITH A SYSTEM

Learn properly from day one.

Choose a beginner or general session according to your experience. Every class takes place at La Forja in Estepona, so confirm the day, time and route before travelling.

NO-GI GRAPPLING

Takedowns, positional control, escapes and submissions

La Forja teaches grappling without a gi. Sessions cover the standing-to-ground transition, positional control, escapes and submissions, without strikes.

You can train it as a discipline in its own right or use it to improve the wrestling and ground-fighting phases of MMA.

A clear starting point for beginners

Grappling Basics runs three evenings each week. You first learn safe movement, the main positions and how to train with a partner before adding resistance and more complex decisions.

FROM SOTOGRANDE

Confirm the session before travelling

Every class takes place at Calle Galileo, 28, in Estepona. La Forja does not claim a branch in Sotogrande. Use your exact starting point because routes can differ from the marina, Guadiaro or Pueblo Nuevo.

Check current traffic and message us before leaving. We will confirm the most suitable group for your experience in English or Spanish.

Group classes or private coaching

Group training gives you a regular schedule and different partners. Private grappling can be booked separately when you need individual attention or a time agreed in advance.

The free trial applies to the first confirmed La Forja group class; private sessions are paid and arranged separately.

VISITORS AND RESIDENTS

Train for a season, a short stay or all year

What to bring
