Fundamentals aren’t just for beginners. The better your foundation becomes, the better your Jiu-Jitsu becomes. These classes are where we slow things down and focus on the details: movement, positioning, escapes, defense, control, submissions, safety, and understanding why techniques work.
Starting with our new-student policy, all brand-new Jiu-Jitsu students will be required to spend their first month attending Fundamentals classes before they begin live rolling.
This isn’t about holding anyone back. It’s about preparing you to roll safely and confidently. Before we put you into a situation where another person is actively resisting, we want you to understand how to move, protect yourself, recognize dangerous positions, control your body, and be a good training partner.
There is no shortcut around strong fundamentals. Even after years of training, we continue returning to the same basic movements and principles only our understanding of them gets deeper.
Build the foundation first. Then build your game.
