Fundamentals & Self-Defense
Our beginner program follows a 16-week curriculum of 64 core techniques covering self-defense, takedowns, and ground work — the foundation every student builds on.
Curriculum
Techniques
Our curriculum covers the full Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu game — fundamentals, guard work, takedowns, escapes, submissions, and competition strategy — taught progressively from white to black belt.
What We Teach
Guard & Guard Passing
Closed guard, half guard, and open guard: sweeps, retention, attacks from the bottom, and the passing systems to control from the top.
Takedowns & Stand-Up
Judo- and wrestling-based takedowns, grip fighting, and safe falling (ukemi) so students are confident starting every match on their feet.
Escapes & Defense
Escapes from mount, side control, and back control, plus the defensive frames and posture that keep you safe against stronger opponents.
Submissions
Chokes, armlocks, and leg attacks taught progressively and safely, always with control and respect for your training partner.
Competition Training
For students who want to compete: strategy, situational sparring, and high-intensity drilling built around the rulesets of major tournaments.
