ADULTS PROGRAM
OUR CLASSES ARE CONSISTENT, FOCUSED, AND DIRECT
THE ADULT PROGRAM OFFERS CLASSES SIX DAYS! OUR ALL LEVELS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO MEET YOU AT YOUR SKILL LEVEL. WE USE MODERN AND UP-TO-DATE SCIENTIFIC TEACHING METHODS FOR LEARNING THE ART OF BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU! OUR CLASSES ARE CONSISTENT, FOCUSED, AND DIRECT WITH DELIBERATE SKILL-SET DEVELOPMENT THROUGH PRINCIPLE-BASED LEARNING!
OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO TEACH YOU IMMOBILIZATION AS IT LEADS TO STRANGULATION AND BREAKING
WE USE THE ECOLOGICAL APPROACH IN PRACTICE. THIS MEANS THAT CONTEXT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF WHY A MOVEMENT IS WHAT IT IS, AND ALL TRAINING PROTOCOLS SHOULD BE LIVE AND AGAINST UNSCRIPTED AND UNCOOPERATIVE RESISTANCE. WITHIN THAT, WE USE THE CONSTRAINTS-LED APPROACH, WHICH INVOLVES REMOVING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACTION OR MOVEMENT SO SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS EMERGE. OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO TEACH YOU IMMOBILIZATION AS IT LEADS TO STRANGULATION AND BREAKING.
OUR APPROACH TO TEACHING
WE USE TWO APPROACHES FOR TEACHING BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU (BJJ): SITUATIONAL SPARRING AND TASK-BASED GAMES. IN SITUATIONAL SPARRING, STUDENTS INTERACT WITHIN SPECIFIC SITUATIONS, SUCH AS STARTING IN THE MOUNTED POSITION, WITH PREDEFINED GOALS AND CONSTRAINTS.
THIS METHOD ASSUMES STUDENTS ALREADY HAVE SOME BJJ KNOWLEDGE. IN CONTRAST, TASK-BASED GAMES PROVIDE HUMAN-CENTRIC TASKS, LIKE PUSHING AN OPPONENT OFF OR KEEPING FEET IN FRONT, WHICH ARE RELATABLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE TO BEGINNERS.
THIS APPROACH SOLVES PROBLEMS BY CREATING HUMAN PROBLEMS FIRST, ALLOWING STUDENTS TO LEARN THE CONTEXT AND THEN THE SOLUTION.
ALL LEVELS
OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE A FRIENDLY AND WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT FOR BOTH BRAND-NEW AND EXPERIENCED PLAYERS.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT NEW PLAYERS NEED ADDITIONAL HELP AND WANT TO GRASP BASIC IDEAS BEFORE FEELING OVERWHELMED, WHILE MORE EXPERIENCED PLAYERS WANT TO BE CHALLENGED AND PUSHED TO DEVELOP NEW SKILLS.
WE DEVELOPED OUR ALL-LEVELS CURRICULUM WITH THIS IN MIND.
WE USE SCALED TASKS AND FOCUSES THAT ARE HUMAN-CENTRIC FOR NEW STUDENTS AND BEGINNERS TO MATCH THEIR ABILITIES AND CONTEXT. TO INCREASE THE DIFFICULTY FOR MORE EXPERIENCED PLAYERS, WE ADJUST FACTORS SUCH AS TIME, PARTNER SELECTION, AND TASK COMPLEXITY.
FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE MOUNTED POSITION, STUDENTS START WITH PREDEFINED GOALS AND CONSTRAINTS, HELPING THEM DEVELOP NEW SKILLS AND REFINE OLD ONES. THIS APPROACH ASSUMES STUDENTS HAVE SOME PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN THESE POSITIONS AND WITH BJJ. FOR BEGINNERS, HOWEVER, WE USE TASK-BASED GAMES THAT FOCUS ON HUMAN-CENTERED TASKS—LIKE PUSHING AN OPPONENT'S HIP AND KNEE OR GETTING OUR FEET IN FRONT OF OUR OPPONENT. THIS METHOD ALLOWS STUDENTS TO ENCOUNTER “HUMAN” CHALLENGES FIRST, LEARN THE CONTEXT, AND THEN DISCOVER EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS.
OUR LEVEL 1 AND LEVEL 2 CLASSES FEATURE SHORTER TRAINING TIMES WITH LONGER BREAKS; EACH ROUND LASTS 6 MINUTES. OUR LEVEL 3 CLASS, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS LONGER TRAINING ROUNDS OF 10 MINUTES. WE RECOMMEND AT LEAST 6 MONTHS OF BJJ EXPERIENCE BEFORE ATTENDING A LEVEL 3 CLASS, AS SOME TASKS AND FOCUSES ARE LESS HUMAN-CENTRIC
AND REQUIRE GREATER TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE.
ALTHOUGH STUDENTS OF ALL LEVELS ARE WELCOME IN ANY OF OUR CLASSES, WE MAY ASK A PARTICIPANT TO STEP OUT IF WE FEEL THEY ARE AT RISK OF INJURY TO THEMSELVES OR OTHERS. OUR LEVEL 1 CURRICULUM IS IDEAL FOR NEW PLAYERS, FOCUSING ON ACCESSIBLE, HUMAN-CENTRIC TASKS. LEVEL 2 CLASSES ARE DESIGNED FOR INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED STUDENTS, WHILE THE LEVEL 3 CURRICULUM IS AIMED AT ADVANCED PLAYERS BUT IS ALSO A GREAT SETTING FOR INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS READY TO IMPROVE AND REACH THE NEXT LEVEL.
