What to Expect in Our BJJ Fundamentals Program
Our Fundamentals Program consists of a structured curriculum that covers all the essential techniques and movements of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We focus on building your skills systematically, from the ground up.
Core Techniques: You'll learn the most important positions, escapes, and submissions, focusing on a deep understanding of leverage and body mechanics, not just strength.
Structured Learning: Each class is part of a 30-class curriculum designed to build on itself, ensuring you have a clear path to progress. You'll master essential drills and movement combinations that are crucial for your development.
Safe and Controlled Environment: Our certified instructors prioritize your safety. You'll learn in a controlled setting where you can ask questions and practice without pressure.
Seamless Transition: Once you complete the program, you'll be fully prepared for our BJJ Intermediate Program, where you'll begin to incorporate live sparring.
While our Fundamentals Class is tailored for beginners and white belts, it's also a great opportunity for advanced students to return to the basics and perfect their technique. It's the ideal way to shake off the rust after a break from training.
