Modesto Grappling Club

"Our son is a proud member of Modesto Grappling Club. These classes are so beneficial for our son as he has not only learned valuable methods of grappling, but has gained much self esteem under the guidance of Don Hunnell. We highly recommend these classes for any junior high or high school child."

"The Grappling club has been an amazing experience for our son.  He has been attending since the summer of 2008. Coach Hunnell really puts in the extra effort in making it a fun, safe, and great learning experience for everyone.  We have really seen an increase in our son's strength and self-confidence.  We feel that along with all the grappling and wrestling methods he has learned, the club has helped to teach him the importance of values such as respect, hard work, and good sportsmanship. Thank you Coach Hunnell & Assistants Coaches for encouraging each member to be all that they can be."

"I have been a part of modesto grappling club for a while now and I love it. When I first came to the club I was scared of being the only girl in there. When I got there everyone welcomed me with open arms.They all have respect for each other and show it when they are grappling. I can honestly say they are my second family. You won't be disappointed if you join our club."

"My name is Josh Bejar and I'm 19 years old.  I have been a member of the Modesto Grappling Club for over two and a half years.  One of my favorite things about the club is seeing new students, with little or no experience, progress  and grow in the sport. I love grappling because it's not easy.  You have to train hard from the beginning to the end of class.  What I've learned from being a part of the Modesto Grappling Club is that with discipline, dedication, patience, and belief in yourself, anything is possible.  I am a firm believer that in order to progress, we need learn from defeat, and use it to better ourselves. I'd like to thank Coach Hunnell and all my friends at the Modesto Grappling Club. Not only are you all my friends, you're my family."
