10-Week Gorilla Grappling Strength Program

Ben Kelly Training

Jiu Jitsu
Coach
Ben Kelly

A structured 10-week strength and conditioning programme designed to improve strength, endurance, speed, and power without negatively impacting your training.

Built specifically for grapplers who want their gym work to actually carry over to the mats.


If this sounds familiar, you're not alone:

✅ You gas out after a couple of rounds

✅ Your strength isn't carrying over

✅ You feel fatigued from trying to do too much

✅ You don't have a clear structure


The problem isn’t that you’re not working hard enough.

It’s that most strength and conditioning isn’t designed with grappling in mind. So instead of improving performance, it often just adds more fatigue.

That’s exactly what this programme is designed to fix.


What you can expext:

✅ Improved pulling and squeezing strength

✅ Better endurance during rounds

✅ Improved speed and power

✅ Gym sessions that build physicality without burning out


Features

2 sessions per week (with an optional 3rd)

60-minute sessions
