Yesterday evening, we hosted Ludlow’s first-ever dedicated grappling session.


The class was at max capacity, attended by 12 eager students who spent the hour-long session learning some new skills from Head Instructor, Owain Williams. The class touched on some basic grappling skills such as falling and standing correctly as well as several more complex submissions and escapes.


Held at Cast Iron Culture, just off Bromfield Road, the session proved to be a hit with locals and even saw some attendees travelling over an hour to take part. 


Danny Marsons, an experienced grappler who attended the class shared his thoughts: “Borderlands Grappling’s first session was really enjoyable, even as a grappler with some experience I still walked away having learnt something and felt included with everyone else. Owain led the class very well, catering to everyone’s individual needs.


The future of grappling in Ludlow, Shropshire


With the first class being a huge success, it will now be a permanent fixture at the Cast Iron Culture gym. Classes will run every Wednesday evening from 20:15 to 21:15, with the potential for more classes to be added if max capacity continues to be reached.


All our classes are currently taught by Owain Williams, a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with over 15 years of experience. Owain has also competed at several elite-level events including multiple ADCC opens, InterGrapple (invitational) and Grappling Industries. 


Grappling is a great way to get in shape, learn a new skill and develop a form of effective self-defence. All our classes are targeted at individuals of all abilities and fitness levels,  ranging from complete beginners to seasoned grapplers.


If you would like to try grappling you can sign up for an account and book a session on our website. Alternatively, if you have any questions or concerns feel free to shoot us a message and we will be happy to help.


Please note, all of our classes have a limited capacity and are booked on a first-come, first-served basis.
