How Does Our Adult BJJ Program Work?
Our Adult BJJ program is split into two groups:
ADULT BASICS
Jiu Jitsu can be a hard and intimidating activity to get into. The focus of our basics class is to help prepare the mind and body for our higher level classes. We start with a short movement specific warm up to help us warm up the joints and muscles. From there we progress to our technical instruction and drilling time. Our focus is to teach the basic principles, transitions, and techniques of all position. Drilling takes place with a compliant partner and resistance level remains relatively low. This helps the student gain a fundamental understanding which can be tested in our intermediate and advanced level classes. This class is perfect for those with no background or training.
Recommended: White through Black belt
ADULT INTERMEDIATE
This class takes the foundation that is established in our basics class, and we begin to build. In this class we start developing our technique chains and sequences. Part of our intermediate classes includes positional sparring. In this section of class your instructor will explain the position and situation, and then your training partner will provide live and more active resistance. We do this in an effort to help wire our brain, and create new pathways to help us make decisions under stress.
Recommended White belt through Black belt
ADULT HYBRID GI/NO GI
This class is designed for those that choose to compete. The positional sparring aspect will be from more dominate positions for one individual, forcing the other partner to have to focus on defense and counters. An understanding of the basic position and defensive principles are needed in order to attend this class.
Recommended: White through Black Belt
MARATHON ROLL
60 minutes of sparring. Coach establishes the round times and then we begin. We encourage starting from a neutral position, generally on our feet. On Friday nights, we open this session up to anyone of any academy to come train and share.
