My name’s Llyr Jones, head coach at Fighting Fit Grappling Cymru. Although at the moment we’re a relatively small club, our aim is to grow and become very active at grappling competitions. Based in Llanberis, I founded the club in 2024 after moving back to the area. Before that I trained at Fighting Fit Grappling (main gym) in Stafford for about 4 years, where I became a purple belt under black belt and BJJ Fanatics instructor Chris Paines. My aim is to bring grappling to as many people in North Wales as possible, an area which has traditionally lacked options in this regard. We’re already pretty active on the competition scene, but as I said my aim is to really make Fighting Fit Grappling a household name at national grappling competitions.

We have a unique grappling style and a unique training approach, but one that aims to and does breed success at competitions. Although our focus is very much so on competing, the club is open to absolute beginners and people of all ages. As long as you want to get good at grappling you’ll fit in well.

Fighting Fit Grappling Caernarfon is a friendly and hard-working grappling academy offering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and No-Gi training for all levels. Known for its supportive atmosphere and practical, technique-focused coaching, the gym provides a great environment for beginners learning the basics as well as experienced grapplers looking to refine their skills. With classes aimed at building confidence, fitness, and real grappling ability, Fighting Fit Grappling has become a welcoming hub for the Caernarfon martial arts community and anyone in North Wales looking to train BJJ in a positive, motivating setting.
