Next Fundamentals class
Full scheduleFour months. Four positions.
The curriculum rotates through the four situations every grappler has to solve. You can join at any point in the cycle and you'll see all four inside four months.
2
Top control and submissions
Maintaining dominant control and finishing from the top. Pressure, pins and the submissions that come from them.
3
Guard: sweep or submit
The position that makes Jiu-Jitsu different. How to use your legs and grips from the bottom to reverse the position or finish the fight.
4
Passing the guard
Getting past the legs with balance and economy of movement. Posture, pressure and patience over strength.
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.

Before you come in.
Do I need to be in shape first?
No. Fundamentals is built for complete beginners and you go at your own pace. Fitness comes from training, not before it.
Gi or nogi?
Most Fundamentals classes are nogi: shorts or spats and a rash guard or fitted t-shirt. Tuesday 6 pm is a gi class. Ask us about a loaner gi for your first gi class.
Will I have to spar on day one?
Only if you want to. Live training closes every class and you're welcome to watch from the wall.
When can I move to All-Levels?
Whenever you want more. Unlimited members ($135 a month) train both. Many people start adding All-Levels after their first full cycle.
