Scotland has always had an affinity for combat sports. Despite a small population size the number of world champions that have come from this country is remarkable. Whether it be Boxing, BJJ, MMA, Muay Thai or Judo you will see a host of Scots competing at the highest level.

With this affinity it is perhaps unsurprising that a place like the Griphouse came into being. Founded in 2005 by Guy Ramsey and Paul Mcveigh the Griphouse was established to give those with an interest in combat sports a venue where they could go and receive the highest level of coaching in a host of reality based martial arts.

Competition is just one facet of the Griphouse. 80% of those who attend the gym have no desire to compete and train for a host of other equally valid reasons. We have developed a culture where everyone is there to help each other improve. In your first class at the gym you could end up training with one of our many world champions. If you have a question, a whole host of guys and girls are available to help answer it.

Our athletes are all at the Griphouse for one reason. They are all there to improve themselves. With consistency and hard work everyone can become a better version of themselves.

Thanks for your interest in our story.
