Our mission
Become a world leading authority on strength and conditioning for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu / Grappling.
Our core values
How?
By providing strength and conditioning coaching tailored to the needs of the individual Jiu Jitsu practitioner and athlete, in the form of in person training or digitally delivered training plans supported by videos and video calls, as well as providing articles, products, tips and advice via BJJStrength.com and it's various social media channels.
Why?
BJJstrength.com is the brain child of Laurence Griffiths as after training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for several years he became frustrated with the lack of strength and conditioning resources focused specifically for the Jiu Jitsu athlete, how much bad information was out there and the fact that there was not one place where someone practicing Jiu Jitsu can get all their strength and conditioning questions answered. BJJstrength.com is his attempt to give the Jiu Jitsu practitioner and athlete effective strength training programs, advice and content that will complement rather than hinder their progress in the sport.

About Laurence Griffiths
Laurence received his BJJ Black Belt from Roger Gracie in 2015 and now fights for the Carlson Gracie Team, based in Temecula, California. Although his sporting background started long before that...
Born in Wales in 1982, as with most Welsh men's destiny, his early sporting life focused on the sport of Rugby where he played for several local clubs from the age of 7 onwards, then eventually captaining his university side and also playing for Wales in Rugby League at an amateur level.
Back in 2007 he switched his boots for a Gi and trained at the Roger Gracie Academy under 1st degree Black Belt Cesar in London since the first time he went to the academy, where he received his Black Belt in December 2015. He competes on a regular basis having achieved a Gold in the 2015 British Championships (Brown, Adult), Silver Medal in the 2015 IBJJF European championships (Brown, Masters), winning the 2015 Naga London Championship (Brown/Black, Adult( and has medalled in several other local and national tournaments.
Laurence is also a published author, releasing the book "Minimum Time, Maximum Impact at Home Workout" in 2015.
As well as holding the NSCA Strength & Conditioning Specialist Certification he also holds a Forensic Psychology MSc and Psychology BSc from the University of Leicester, so he takes a holistic approach of both the mental and physical in his approach towards training.
