GI TRAINING
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals (BJJ)
In Basics sessions it can be expected that students will develop a base of grappling fundamentals, be taught to control their opponent and perform basic submissions, as well as learn how to use their uniform called a Gi (internationally referred to as a kimono) for offensive and defensive situations. Each class covers drilling, technical instruction, and live grappling. Situational drills and sparring, also known as live rolling, are commonly guided by the teacher. Students of skill levels may attend Basics classes.
In Intermediate / Advanced sessions, students will learn Gi (also called kimono). Jiu Jitsu. Students will further build on the basics of BJJ, further their knowledge of advanced technique and sharpen their style as they continually advance to a higher level of performance. Students graduate to this class after they have soundly performed the material learned in our basics curriculum, which are orchestrated to ensure students begin training properly.
NO-GI TRAINING
Submission Grappling | Fundamentals
Submission Grappling (No-Gi training) is very similar to BJJ—just without the Gi. Practitioners may wear athletic attire such as board shorts and a rash guard. However, basic athletic shorts and a t-shirt are appropriate. Grappling without a gi provides a higher paced speed of wrestling because of the lack of friction. Submission Grappling in No-Gi form is becoming more common because of the increasing popularity of mixed martial arts. No-Gi submission is arguably the quickest growing style of martial arts at the moment and the main base of mixed martial arts ground fighting.
Submission Grappling | Intermediate – Advanced
Advanced submission wrestling places a higher focus on situations involved sparring and drills. It is also conducted at a higher pace of training and has less rest periods. Students may graduate to Intermediate and Advanced training after they have soundly performed the material learned in our Fundamentals curriculum, which are orchestrated to ensure students begin training properly.
Wrestling (Taught During Submission Grappling)
Wrestling techniques are shown through the course of Submission Grappling sessions. Students are also taught Collegiate and Greco-Roman wrestling techniques where students are taught how properly to force their opponent from standing to the mat by gripping their torso or limbs– without gripping their opponents clothing. The Greco-Roman style covers upper body takedowns, as well as takedowns in the clinch and from longer range. The Collegiate style covers lower lower body takedowns.
MIXED MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING
Mixed Martial Arts | Fundamentals
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA training) is the proper name for the sport which mixes techniques from various martial arts.
