Claim this gymWrestling for Jiu Jitsu in London was founded by Joe Chapple, a black belt under Ross Nicholls, the 2018 <77kg ADCC European champion. Joe’s background began in freestyle wrestling, which he started at 16, training and competing for six years with notable success including medalling at the English championships. After discovering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu through a friend, Joe integrated wrestling techniques adapted specifically for BJJ’s ruleset and began teaching wrestling classes tailored to grapplers. His coaching experience spans a wide range of students, from young children to adults, including those with learning difficulties, reflecting a deep commitment to accessible and effective instruction. The academy operates primarily out of London Grapple and Commando Temple in Deptford, Southeast London. Joe offers private one-to-one and small group sessions focused on wrestling for BJJ, where training is personalised according to the individual’s skill level and physical attributes. The sessions emphasise fundamental movements, progressing to chaining techniques for practical application in live rolling and competition. Alongside wrestling, Joe provides personal training and strength and conditioning tailored to grapplers, supporting overall athletic development. He also teaches kids’ classes, nurturing early development in both wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals. Wrestling for Jiu Jitsu’s approach is grounded in Joe’s own journey from a non-athletic youth to a competitive wrestler and BJJ black belt. The academy’s focus is on building confidence and technical proficiency through wrestling skills that complement the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Training is structured but adaptable, accommodating various ages and experience levels, with the goal of enhancing takedown success and control on the mats. The academy does not operate a typical group class schedule but offers tailored sessions to suit individual needs, making it a specialised resource for grapplers in Greater London seeking to improve their wrestling within a BJJ context.
