Can't thank SGS enough. SGS has given me the tools to confidently now put training plans together and deliver them with confidence. The amount of content is amazing. You get the best of both worlds with SGS regarding grappling experience and rugby league. I feel now I can offer my community a high level of grappling for sport and positively impact others. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.

Rugby League Coach
Rhys and Sports Grappling Systems have truly been a game-changer for me. Coming from an Aussie Rules background where proper tackling techniques and safety measures are often overlooked in younger players, this training has been a revelation. Rhys's expertise and guidance have not only taught me how to tackle correctly but also how to teach my players and my opponents while maintaining control during tackles. It has been a massive education and eye-opener for me. I highly recommend Rhys and Sports Grappling Systems to anyone looking to enhance their skills and understanding of grappling techniques. Thank you, Rhys, for your invaluable teachings!

If you’re looking to get an edge on your competition or how you can better use your own body in the contact zone I would definitely recommend getting in contact with Rhys.

A huge component of our premiership season at the Young Cherrypickers this year was built on the essentials skills that Sports Grappling Systems has to offer. I highly recommend all players and coaches learn these skills at grass roots level.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I've been coaching Rugby League for over 25 years in NZ, school, club and rep level. I've found the videos very useful, and the basic fundamentals and detail around the tackle is critical to player safety and avoiding head injuries.

Not only did my confidence grow in defence but I now have a deeper knowledge for a lot of situations that I find myself in on the field.
After training with Rhys I’ve found a real love for this sport. He’s made this challenging game enjoyable and I can’t wait to see where this training takes me in the future.
