Our Fundamentals Jiu Jitsu Class is designed for beginners and those looking to build a strong foundation in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. This class focuses on essential movements, positions, and techniques that form the backbone of effective Jiu Jitsu, including escapes, guard work, passing, and basic submissions.
Classes are taught at a structured and approachable pace, with an emphasis on proper technique, safety, and understanding the “why” behind each movement. Students will have time to drill techniques and gradually apply them in controlled, live situations to build confidence and real-world effectiveness.
Whether you are brand new to Jiu Jitsu or returning to refine the basics, this class provides a supportive environment to develop solid fundamentals that will carry over into all levels of training.
Jiu Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art that uses principles such as leverage, angles, pressure, timing, and an understanding of human anatomy to control a resisting opponent and achieve a non-violent submission. Because control is often more effective on the ground than standing, much of Jiu Jitsu focuses on safely taking an opponent to the ground and working toward dominant control positions. From there, an opponent can be neutralized through positional control, chokes, or joint techniques when necessary.
This All Levels Adult Class is open to everyone, regardless of experience. Techniques are taught progressively, from beginner to intermediate and advanced, allowing students of all levels to train together while continuing to grow and develop at their own pace.
Open Mat is an open training session welcoming everyone, regardless of affiliation or experience level. This is a relaxed and supportive environment where you can roll, drill, and ask questions freely. We believe that live training is a very important part of improving and refining technique, as it allows students to apply what they’ve learned against a resisting partner in real time.
Live training does not mean going as hard as possible. Instead, the focus is on safely and thoughtfully putting techniques into a live context, developing timing, control, and understanding. Whether you’re looking to gain experience, work on specific techniques, or get guidance from the coach, Open Mat is a great opportunity to grow and connect with the Jiu Jitsu community.
