You're a submission grappler?
The BGA is here to support you

The BGA exists to facilitate and support submission grappling clubs and their members. Join and be part of a growing community.

LAW has set up the British Grappling Affiliation (BGA) to promote and support the sport submission grappling in the UK and to forge links with other clubs.

Our regular submission wrestling tournaments are organised under the banner of the BGA to welcome other clubs to come and take part. The BGA uses the same rules as LAW for such tournaments.
