Combat Sports

Ffion Davies is a Welsh submission grappler born in Swansea in 1995. She played rugby before switching to judo at eight, became a Welsh and British Open junior judo champion and was selected for the Welsh national judo team. After leaving judo she tried mixed martial arts in 2013, winning her first four fights by first-round submission, then focused on Brazilian jiu-jitsu, receiving her blue belt from Chris Rees, the first Welsh black belt in the art. The article calls her a multiple winner of the IBJJF World Championship, including the 2023 no-gi title in both the 61 kg and absolute divisions, and the first British or Welsh ADCC World Champion. She holds black belts in both Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo.
