Willow Crawford is heading from New Hampshire to England for the very first time this November, and her destination is Grapple Worlds 3.

In Episode 5 of The Grapple Worlds Podcast, we get to know Willow ahead of her appearance at GW3 at Stadium MK on Saturday 7 November 2026.

Willow has built her life around her commitment to Jiu Jitsu. Working as an Amazon delivery driver gives her the flexibility to prioritise her training, and that same determination carries into the way she approaches learning on the mats.

Sponsored by Adapt Jiu Jitsu, Willow has developed a particular love for the leg-lock game. She's curious, asks questions and actively seeks out the people and knowledge that can help move her Jiu Jitsu forward.

We talk about the work that goes into pursuing BJJ seriously, her approach to learning and development, competition, leg locks and the journey that will bring her across the Atlantic to compete in the UK for the first time.

It's a great conversation with a grappler who wants to understand why things work, who is prepared to organise her life around getting better, and isn't afraid to keep asking questions until she finds the answers.

Get to know Willow Crawford before she steps onto the Grapple Worlds stage.
