Nikki Lloyd Griffiths, 

Black Belt under Lee Ting & Dave Marinakis (Founders of Immersion MMA)

Trains at: Immersion MMA

I started jiu jitsu at the end of 2013, I had no idea what I was doing but I showed up everyday, after a couple of months of training a teammate convinced me to enter a local competition and I became obsessed. 

Shortly after, I booked my first of many to come; 3 month trips to America to train jiu jitsu and I realised this is what I wanted to focus all my energy on, I set a goal to win the IBJJF World championships and every year I lost I would train harder and harder after four attempts of getting silver and bronzes I achieved a gold medal at purple belt in 2019. 

As I progress I am always setting a new goals to achieve, I am the first female at my gym to be graded to black belt and I recently won my way to the ADCC World Championships, I am excited to accomplish some new goals alongside Hyperfly whom I am grateful for their support.
