All-Levels

Each month the All-Levels class shifts focus to look in depth at a concept, position, submission or movement based on the needs of the gym as a whole. Classes flow more freely than Fundamentals and are open to multiple avenues of focus based on who shows up.

How a month runs.

Every All-Levels class starts on the feet, moves to the monthly focus, and ends with live rounds. Students of any experience level can enter if they want a deeper understanding of grappling than Fundamentals provides.

1

Takedown setups, entries and finishes

Every class starts standing. Entries, setups and finishes that connect to the month's ground work.

2

The monthly mat focus

One position, submission or concept, taken apart over four weeks: the mechanics, the common answers, and the answers to those answers.

3

Live training

Full-resistance rounds to test the month's work. The room ranges from blue belts to black belts, and everyone gets rounds that fit.

Every class, same arc.

First

A controlled takedown

Every class starts on the feet. Setups, entries and finishes, taught to be safe for the person being thrown.

Then

One concept on the mat

The month's position, taught as a concept with specific examples. You drill it with a partner at your own pace.

Finally

Structured live training

Rounds with rules that fit where you are. Watch from the wall on night one if you want. You'll want in by night three.

Eleven a week.
