Unconventional and Unstoppable
In a world where many gyms push the latest fads or sweat-breaking schedules, Fighting Fit Shrewsbury—under the guidance of head coach Chris Paines (check out his podcast here)—does something wholly different. This isn’t your typical BJJ club where the goal is to collect submissions like notches on a belt. Fighting Fit is rewriting the rulebook with a commitment to the unconventional, using eco training, concepts, and a refreshingly no-nonsense approach to jiu-jitsu.
What does unconventional mean?
What does it mean to be unconventional in BJJ? It means focusing on fundamentals in such a way that practitioners become exceptionally skilled remarkably fast, without needing a road map marked by endless drills. Imagine learning BJJ like jazz musicians learn to riff: you’ve got the core scales, but once you know them inside out, you’re free to improvise, adapt, and thrive.
The heart of this approach lies in eco training and concept-based learning. You’re not just memorizing moves; you’re internalizing the principles that guide every grip, guard, and guard pass. It’s like receiving a master key rather than a crowded ring of keys, letting you unlock any problem that grappling presents.
This isn’t just about skill acquisition but about learning to be effective in a way that makes you fit, happy, and undeniably ready for whatever life throws at you. The end result? A community where everyone, regardless of starting point, becomes proficient faster, in an atmosphere that’s as open and fun as it is challenging.
For anyone ready to embrace an alternative path, Fighting Fit Shrewsbury offers a chance to learn BJJ as a thinking sport, developing mental and physical resilience in equal measure. So, if you’re after the kind of training that keeps you genuinely engaged, where every roll is a step closer to mastery, Fighting Fit Shrewsbury is ready to welcome you.
