Today we want to take a moment to say a massive thank you to Aled and Churchy as they step back from running Motley Grapple 🖤

It’s easy to look at the club and the amazing group we have today and forget just how much time, effort and graft has gone into getting us here. From the late nights in Pen-y-Bont, to the little stint in P.A. Fitness, and eventually finding our current home — they’ve both poured so much into building Motley into what it is today.

There is no Motley Grapple, and there is no grappling community in Bridgend as we know it, without these two. They’ve created a place where people can come to learn, train, compete, get their arses kicked 😂, make friends and, most importantly, feel part of something.

And that doesn’t happen by accident. It takes countless hours, sacrifices, planning, coaching and plenty of work behind the scenes that often goes unseen. Aled and Churchy have given a huge amount to the club and to everyone who has walked through its doors.

We genuinely appreciate everything you have done for Motley Grapple, both on and off the mats. 🥋

Thankfully, this isn’t goodbye. Theey’ll both still be around to beat us up — so we’re not getting rid of them that easily! 😂

From everyone at Motley Grapple: thank you, Aled and Churchy. For the time, the effort, the laughs, the lessons and for laying the foundations of the club we have today.

Motley Grapple wouldn’t be what it is without you. 🖤

🔥 Monday Night Gi 🔥

Tonight we worked on:
🥋 Overhead sweeps
🥋 De La Riva sweeps
