Will Nichols

Will first stepped onto the mats at 14, originally drawn in by MMA. He quickly realised that of the martial arts, BJJ was his favourite.

Nine years on, he holds a brown belt under Ross Nicholls and competes regularly on both the national and international circuit. He has won numerous titles at local competitions and across the IBJJF circuit, including the No Gi Europeans at blue belt, the London Open at purple, the Milan Open at brown, and the British Open. He has also featured three times on Polaris Pro, winning all three of his matches.

Will travels often in pursuit of his development, having trained alongside experienced ADCC competitors both in the UK and the United States, including time spent with Victory MMA, 10th Planet South Bay, and Legion AJJ during a stint in San Diego. He plans to continue testing himself in future IBJJF and ADCC events.

When he isn't training or competing, you'll find Will running the front desk and keeping things ticking over around the gym. Away from the mats, he's a keen music fan.
