Programs & Class Schedule
We have divided our classes into 5 categories:
Basic Beginners
Mixed Fundamentals
Advanced
No-Gi
Sparring
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Basic Beginners
The class was designed for those students who have never done Jiu Jitsu before or have little experience. We want to ensure that all students start their Jiu Jitsu journey with a solid foundation and safely. We focus on the principles of the art, including everything from self-defence to a variety of basic beginner’s techniques.
In this class students will learn the first steps of Jiu Jitsu, basic takedowns, ground control, hip movement and also learn self-defence. Classes are 45 minutes long, divided into warm-up, techniques, specific sparring and stretching.
No experience required, we've structured this program so you can get started anytime without any previous experience, regardless of your age, athletic ability or skill level, you will be able to perform the techniques on day one.
BELT RANK: White Belt 0 to 4 stripes
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Mixed Fundamentals
It was designed for those who already have the basic knowledge of Jiu Jitsu. In this second stage, students will learn how to relax while training and have more control of their bodies and opponents. We focus on breath control, posture, grips and more advanced techniques.
With this program, students will be able to improve their general knowledge of Jiu Jitsu. Students are highly encouraged to ask questions to improve their individual understanding of techniques and the position.
BELT RANK: White Belt with 3 stripes to Black Belt
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Advanced
Designed for those students who want to take their game to the next level through an in-depth exploration of more advanced Jiu Jitsu techniques and instruction. We will focus in advanced techniques, conditioning training and sparring.
BELT RANK: White Belt with 3 stripes to Black Belt
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: No-Gi
This class is for all levels. The difference of Nogi to Jiu-Jitsu is that you wear shorts and a rash guard (t-shirt), so you don't have the traditional Jiu-Jitsu uniform to grab and slow down your opponent. Instead, you will use hooks, grips on wrists, head and joints to control your opponent.
BELT RANK: All belt levels
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Sparring
Designed for students interested in testing their knowledge in a more practical and advanced environment or for those interested in competing in the sport.
BELT RANK: All levels
