HERO Grappling

Coach Atlas Del Mar has consistently advocated for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) training among military and law enforcement personnel because of its practical application as a combat system built around proficiency in a four-step progression.

Rather than focusing exclusively on developing world-class grappling champions who have mastered every aspect of the discipline, Coach Del Mar’s primary objective is to develop program members into well-rounded practitioners who can achieve functional proficiency at each stage of the system.

Why not train exclusively for mastery? The simple truth is that achieving true subject-matter expertise in BJJ requires an extraordinary investment of time and dedication. It can take decades of consistent training to develop the level of proficiency required to reliably impose one’s will against other highly trained practitioners. For the average person, however, the objective does not necessarily need to be absolute mastery. Developing a practitioner who can effectively manage the vast majority of untrained opponents while also remaining capable against less-experienced trained practitioners represents a significantly more attainable learning curve.

By ensuring that program members develop a comprehensive understanding of grappling through a structured four-step system, practitioners can efficiently and progressively build proficiency across each stage. This approach emphasizes broad competence, practical application, and the ability to transition effectively between different phases of a grappling engagement.

Below is an explanation from a well-known tactician outlining the concept of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a four-step system.

A bit of Judo for BJJ was part of the curriculum for today's GI class.

Coach Atlas Del Mar faced a taller, heavier, and highly skilled opponent in his opening match of the Masters Ultra Heavyweight Black Belt division.

However imposing his opponent was, the objective remained the same: control the standing exchange with Judo. Once the match reached the ground, establish dominant position before attacking submissions, and continually push the pace to secure the victory.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not simply a system of self-defence or fighting; it is a methodology and a way of life that empowers those who choose to embrace it.

At HERO Grappling, we train with the mindset that the fight is not over until the mission is complete—and the mission never truly ends.

Stay switched on, and we'll see you on the mats.

We all level up together.

Great tutorial.
