Step-by-Step: The BJJ Journey of a Beginner

The No-Gi Mixed Levels classes are designed for practitioners of all levels, from beginners to advanced. In these classes, the entire group trains together, with the same techniques being taught but with variations tailored to each individual’s level. Beginners receive a simpler version of the technique, while advanced practitioners are challenged with more complex variations. This creates a dynamic learning environment where everyone can progress at their own pace. Whether you’re just starting out or are already advanced, this class provides a great opportunity to train together and further refine your skills.

These classes are offered in both Gi and No-Gi formats, allowing you to choose the style that best suits you.

What It Involves: Your first introduction to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! This course is specifically designed for absolute beginners and requires no prior martial arts experience, special conditioning, or strength. Over the course of four weeks, you will learn the fundamental principles of BJJ, including basic techniques and positions, and gain a solid foundation to build upon.

How to Progress: After completing the Beginners Course, you will be well-prepared to move on to our No-Gi Basics classes, where you can further develop and refine your foundational skills.

What It Involves: In No-Gi Basics Level 1 classes, you start building a strong foundation in BJJ without the Gi (the traditional uniform). These classes focus on the core techniques and principles of No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu. Sparring is kept to a minimum so you have ample time to master the techniques.

How to Progress: After completing Level 1, you can advance to No-Gi Basics Level 2, where you’ll learn more advanced techniques and start applying your skills in sparring sessions

What It Involves: No-Gi Basics Level 2 builds on what you learned in Level 1. You’ll delve into more advanced techniques and positions. These classes also provide opportunities to apply your techniques in a controlled sparring environment, helping you to further develop your skills.

How to Progress: After completing Level 2, you’ll be ready for the Mixed Levels classes, where you can expand your knowledge and skills by working on both fundamental and advanced techniques in a mixed setting.

What It Involves: The Mixed Levels classes are designed for practitioners of all levels, offering a flexible approach where beginners and advanced students train together. You receive tailored instructions based on your level: beginners learn simpler techniques, while advanced students are challenged with more complex variations. This creates a learning environment that suits everyone.

What it involves: The Mixed Levels Wrestling classes focus on integrating wrestling techniques into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. These classes are designed for practitioners of all levels and offer a balanced approach. You’ll learn both fundamental and advanced wrestling techniques that complement your BJJ skills. The lessons are tailored to your level: beginners receive instruction on the basics of wrestling, while advanced students are challenged with more complex techniques and strategies.

What It Involves: The Competition Class is for more experienced students who want to test their skills in a competitive environment. These classes focus on competition readiness, strategies, and techniques that are specifically useful for participating in matches.

With this structured approach, you’ll have a clear path from beginner to advanced, with opportunities to further develop your skills at every level. We look forward to guiding you through each step of this journey and growing your Jiu-Jitsu adventure together!

No-Gi Basics - Level 1

In our No-Gi Basics classes, we focus on the fundamental techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with sparring kept to a minimum. These classes are particularly suited for beginners who are new to BJJ or those who have just completed our beginner's course. The emphasis is on building a strong foundation in the basic movements and concepts of No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu.

No-Gi Basics - Level 2

The No-Gi Basics Level 2 classes are designed to bridge the gap between beginner and intermediate levels. In these sessions, students build on the foundational techniques learned in Level 1 by adding more advanced concepts and introducing controlled sparring. This level prepares students for more dynamic and challenging situations, helping them to develop greater technical proficiency and confidence on the mat.

Mixed Levels Gi/No-Gi

No-Gi Mixed Levels classes are designed for practitioners of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced students. In these sessions, the entire group trains together, with the same techniques being taught to everyone. However, variations are provided to match each student’s experience level. Beginners will work on a simpler version of the technique, while advanced practitioners are challenged with more complex variations. This creates a dynamic learning environment where everyone can progress at their own pace. These classes are offered both with and without the Gi, allowing you to choose the format that best suits your training goals.
