About Greg
In Greg's own words
Greg Wood is a black belt and the head Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor at Plainville Martial Arts, and the room he runs is genuinely welcoming — the kind of place a complete beginner can walk into without feeling out of place. Kids leave with confidence and discipline. Adults leave in better shape and able to defend themselves. What he's really built is a community, and it shows the moment you're in the door.
