Our instructors
DAN MERRITT
Founder & Lead Instructor
Dan is the Founder and lead instructor of Sub Club Grappling and has been on the mats for many years. He simply loves grappling whether it’s in the kimono or nogi, wrestling or leg locks, he just wants to experiment, learn, have some fun and pass on the knowledge.
ZACHARY STIMPSON

Zachary has been training since he was a young lad and his obsessional desire for grappling knowledge has left him with an old head on young shoulders. He has an excellent ability to deliver his knowledge with clear instructions which makes it easy to understand what to do.

Sub Club is an incredible place to train, offering top-notch facilities and a welcoming, feel-good atmosphere. The instructors are not only highly experienced but also friendly and deeply knowledgeable.
