about Jed
Hi I’m Jed I’m a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the founder/head coach at Elite Submission Grappling. I was introduced to martial arts from a young age as my dad was an amateur kick boxer turned boxing manager so from early on I was taught how to strike and defend myself so as I grew up I always knew I had an interest in martial arts. When I turned 16 I decided that I wanted to learn some grappling and once I did my first session of BJJ I immediately knew this was the sport for me! About 1 year into training I received my blue belt and thats when I realised that I actually wanted to do Jiu-Jitsu for the rest of my life.
By the time I was 19 I was a purple in BJJ but unfortunately I got badly injured fighting in the European championship tournament in Lisbon, Portugal. I took off a couple years due to not only my injury but also financial problems and just the fact I had no motivation to go back to training. By 21 years old I had been out of training for over 2 years and I had put on loads of weight around 20kg to be exact and I was just very insecure so I said to myself enough was enough and that I had to lose all this weight and I knew the best way to lose that weight was with training BJJ so I got straight back into training! Within 4 weeks of training and eating better I had lost 10kg and was already looking to get back into the competition circuit.
By 23 I achieved my brown belt and cemented myself as one of the best grapples in the UK. In april of 2021 I started Elite Submission Grappling and received my black belt in august a few months later!
At 25 I have cemented myself as one of the best No-Gi grapplers in Europe and a successful growing family at Elite Submission Grappling.

about Bart
Hello my name is Francesco and im a purple belt in BJJ under Jed, I started training at the age of 21, for me it was a good way to lose weight whilst doing something that actually interested me as lifting weights wasn't my cup of tea. Jiu-Jitsu was originally just a hobby for me but as time went on I realised that this is something I wanted to do for the rest of my life it made me more confident in myself, made me stronger and fitter! I started my BJJ journey back home in in Sicily, Italy I trained for around a year before I decided to move to London to pursue my training on a bigger scale and start my competitive career! The more I competed the happier I became and realised there was nothing in the world I would rather do than train and compete! Now I teach and train full time at Elite where I have finally found somewhere where I belong and have found my new family and home, the atmosphere here at elite is like no other and I couldn't imagine training anywhere else!
