Been with Ty for over 6.5 years now. Ty is the real deal. A master in the Arts. If you really want to learn great self defense from standing to clinching to takedowns and submissions on the ground then this might be a good fit for you.

★★★★★ — Wesley, Aug 2025

I have had the privilege of working with Ty for a while now. He is a phenomenal teacher. He creates a very family friendly environment while still having serious focus in training. I highly recommend Mountain West Grappling and Ty Hatfield. He is very qualified to teach people of all ages and skill levels.

★★★★★ — Jordan, Mar 2019

Really great instructors and great learning environment. Coach Tye has more experience in the grappling business than anybody in Utah and is very invested in his students. You will succeed at this place.

Your first BJJ class at Mountain West Grappling

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
