Strength & Conditioning

I have immersed myself in grappling, leaving no stone unturned to help individuals reach their goals within this sport across a spectrum of levels, from worlds finals, major shows such as Polaris to the everyday practitioner simply looking to make improvements in the gym. I have personally accumulated a large body of competitive results across variety of competition rulesets including Grapplefest, ibjjf, grappling industries, AJP tour etc. I have spent years coaching, learning, and applying the science of skill acquisition to enhance my understanding of that field. All whilst developing my trade off the mat to further help individuals become stronger, fitter and more physically capable. 

I aim to help people achieve their fitness goals through a personalized approach, offering face-to-face personal training across a variety of areas tailored to my clients’ individual goals and needs. In addition, I provide online coaching with customized programs, support for macro and calorie tracking, and regular check-ins. While I initially believed my niche would be individuals aged 35-45, as this is my own age group, I have found myself working with a wide range of age groups across my services. I enjoy this variety, as it presents different challenges and opportunities to find effective solutions.

I'm Dave. I've grappled since 2016. I was a secondary school teacher when I started and thought regular pain off the mats was normal. My strength coach showed me it wasn't, and I decided to do the same for others.
Since 2019, I've helped grapplers to prepare for major competitions like Grapplefest, Polaris Professional, Intergrapple and ADCC British Nationals. I also love helping hobbyists who want to get out of pain so they can train more often and terrorise their training partners. My programmes are personalised and adaptable, so that you can spend as much time on the mats as possible, where you belong.

Personally, I love learning about coaching, developing my approach and applying it for my clients. This is why I became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with the NSCA since 2021.
Stop wasting your time piecing programmes together or working with coaches who have never rolled before. Work with a professional and take all of the guesswork out of your physical development.

Get strong. Roll more.
