The Real Problem

It's not you.
It's the plan.

Every approach you've tried before was built for someone who goes to the gym twice a week and wants to lose a bit of weight. That's not you. And it's why they didn't work.

Generic cutting plan from a PT

Wrong tool for the job

No understanding of grappling volume, training fatigue, or comp prep. You felt flat and weak in sessions and decided the plan wasn't compatible with your sport. It wasn't.

Tracking on MFP alone

No accountability

When motivation dipped — which it always does around week three — there was nothing and no one keeping you in the game. So you quietly stopped.

Eating "clean" without structure

No data, no feedback

Lost a bit at first, then couldn't tell what was working or what to adjust. Without a baseline, you had no way to diagnose the problem.

Training more to compensate

Can't out-train a poor diet

Added extra sessions, did more conditioning. Still didn't get leaner. Because the food never actually changed — and training isn't how you drive fat loss.

Why This Works

Built from the inside.
Not translated from a gym plan.

The thing that makes Grapple Shred different isn't the macros or the training split. It's that it was built by someone who actually grapples and understands exactly where and why things fall apart.

Nutrition built around grappling — not despite it

The system accounts for heavy sparring days, light training days, competition cycles, and evening sessions. Your fuelling works with your sport, not against it. No flat sessions. No guessing whether to eat more or less.

Accountability that keeps you in the game

Weekly check-ins mean someone is watching. You don't go quiet. You don't drift for three weeks and come back hoping no one noticed. The structure exists precisely for the weeks when motivation disappears.

Habits, not just a result

Eight weeks of doing this properly builds the behaviours that outlast the programme — how to track, how to plan, how to handle weekends, how to come back from a bad day without treating it as a reset. The Shred gives you a foundation. What you build after is up to you.

What's Included

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Nutrition

Personalised calorie & macro targets

Your numbers, calculated with the GrappleStrong calculator — not a generic app estimate. Set up properly from day one so you're not guessing.

Training

Structured S&C programme

Three sessions per week built around your grappling schedule, not instead of it. Designed to maintain strength and muscle while you're in a deficit.

Coaching

Weekly video check-ins + group support

A coach reviewing your progress every week and a group of grapplers doing the same thing. Accountability you can't get from an app or a PDF.

Education

Weekly lectures + 110-page recipe pack

Eight weeks of coaching delivered when you need it — sleep, steps, stress, fuelling training, managing weekends. Plus a full recipe pack and snack guide built for grapplers.

8 weeks. A real system. Coach-led from start to finish.

Get Started — £75 Early Bird
What Happens When You Sign Up

Simple. No faff.

01

You get set up properly

Your personalised calorie and macro targets are calculated. You set up MyFitnessPal correctly, understand what you're actually eating right now, and get a baseline. No guessing from day one.

02

You follow the system week by week

Three strength sessions per week built around your grappling. Clear nutrition targets with flexibility built in. Weekly lectures covering everything you need — delivered when you actually need it.

03

Weekly check-ins keep you on track

Every week there's a moment to course-correct. If something isn't working, you find out why and fix it — whether that's adherence, targets, or training load. Nothing gets ignored for weeks.

04

You finish with a plan — not just a result

The reverse diet phase and post-Shred transition mean you keep what you've built. You leave knowing exactly where to go next: maintain, another phase, or move into 1:1 coaching.

Eight weeks from now.

Leaner. Lighter on the mats. Actually in control.

Jay Bell — GrappleStrong Head Coach
The Coach

Jay Bell

  • Started at 145kg. Couldn't tie my shoelaces. Too embarrassed to leave the house.
  • Hit a point where I couldn't ignore it anymore. Got a coach. That decision changed everything.
  • Realised I'd been trying to outwork bad structure instead of fixing it — training hard, always sore, always tired, never improving.
  • The insight: more isn't better. Better is better. You don't rise to your goals, you fall to your systems.
  • I coach because I know exactly what it feels like to put everything in and get nothing back. When you get it right, everything changes — the body, the performance, the confidence, the identity.
  • I'm not selling a generic programme with a grappling logo on it. I built this because nothing like it existed — and because I needed it once myself.

Grapple Shred helped me set up habits I could actually keep. Got back to competition weight and finally stopped the drift.

I really enjoyed the last one and the group chat made it easier. Came back for another run straight after Christmas.

Travelled, worked away and made it happen. Also dropped my 5K time from 33 to 24 minutes. Feeling good rolling out of this plan.

Performance Shift
There are points when I'm rolling where opponents are breathing heavy and I feel like I haven't even got out of first gear. Feels so nice to have plenty in the tank mid-roll, not holding on for the bell.

Never felt stronger while in a fat loss stage. So happy with the Shred and Jay's guidance.

Nearly 10kg
Lost nearly 10kg over the last 8 weeks but the gains in strength have also been wild. Hit PBs on back squat and bench. Biggest win is the feeling of confidence I had competing last weekend knowing I was in the right shape.

Questions

The ones people actually ask.

Yes — this is built specifically around people who grapple regularly. The strength programme is three sessions per week and complements your mat time rather than replacing it. Your grappling counts as conditioning. The nutrition side is designed around the demands of training, not despite them.
The honest answer is: the accountability. Most programmes fail not because the plan is wrong but because there's nothing keeping you in it when motivation dips — which it always does. Weekly check-ins mean someone is watching your data and checking in on you. The group means you're not doing it alone. That's the structural difference. The plan still only works if you do it, but this is specifically designed for the weeks when you don't feel like it.
Some sessions will feel flatter than usual — that's normal when you're in a deficit and it's temporary. The programme is specifically designed to minimise this. Carb timing around training, appropriate calorie targets, and the strength sessions are all structured to protect muscle and performance. Multiple previous participants have hit personal bests on lifts during the programme. If you're feeling excessively flat, that's a signal to adjust — not push through.
Yes. The system is built for real life, not ideal conditions. One previous participant completed the Shred while travelling and working away and still dropped 8kg and took 9 minutes off his 5K time. The programme teaches you how to manage nutrition in any environment — restaurants, hotels, social occasions. The structure is the point, and it travels with you.
It depends how close the competition is. If it's within the first couple of weeks of the programme, it's worth discussing timing. But if it's mid-programme or later, that's actually a strong motivator — and several participants have competed during the Shred with great results. Getting leaner and better fuelled tends to help your performance, not hurt it. Reach out and we can talk through your specific situation.
Tracking takes 5-10 minutes a day once you're set up properly — and the programme teaches you to use it as a planning tool the night before, not a logging exercise after the fact. That changes everything. The goal isn't to track forever. It's to track for 8 weeks so you actually understand what you're eating, build some habits, and then eventually not need to. If you're genuinely too busy for 10 minutes a day, the programme will be hard to get results from. But most people find it far less time-consuming than they expected.
Both. The programme is used by people carrying significant weight they want to shift and by people who are already in decent shape but want to tighten up, improve body composition, and get their nutrition properly structured. The personalised targets mean it's calibrated to where you actually are — not a one-size-fits-all number.
The final week includes a reverse diet protocol — gradually restoring calories to prevent the rebound most people experience after dieting. You leave with a clear picture of where you are, what you've built, and what comes next: a maintenance phase, another structured block, or moving into 1:1 coaching with Jay for deeper, longer-term support.
Last chance to overthink it

Eight weeks from now,
you're either leaner
or you're not.

The plan works. The system works. The only variable is whether you do it. If you're serious about grappling, it's time your body reflected that.
