Beginner Classes - Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals - Ages 15+

The beginner class curriculum is designed to teach students the fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu and provides a solid foundation upon which the more advanced techniques can be built. At age 15 kids leave the teen program and begin learning as adults.

The techniques covered include:

Primary positions: Guard, Mount, Back Mount, Side Control, Standing Techniques, Passing the Guard, and Sweeps.
Submissions: Armbars, Triangle Choke, Collar Choke, Kimura Lock, Guillotine, Mata Leo, and Omoplata
Defenses against Punches, Kicks, Take-Downs, and more!
Escapes from Chokes, Grabs, Bear Hugs, Locks, and Clinches

Advanced Classes - Grey Belts and Above:

After a grey belt is awarded to the student, he/she is invited to the advanced class. The fundamentals of the beginner class serve as a springboard to the more complicated techniques of the advanced class. The sparring is more challenging because the advanced students have more experience in class and in tournaments. Upon acceptance into the advanced class, the student begins to expand the breadth of knowledge of Jiu-Jitsu.

The techniques covered include:

Half Guard: Passes and sweeps.
Knee on Belly: Attacks and defenses.
Mount: Advanced attacks and transitions.
Side Mount: Working on applying pressure, attacks.
Back: Advanced attacks, keeping the position.
Butterfly Guard: Advanced sweeps.
Hook Sweeps: De la Riva guard and inside hook guard.
Sparring: Advanced and competition style sparring.
Teacher Training: More in-depth analysis and practice of the fundamentals that will allow you to teach the techniques.

Private/Semi-Private Lessons:

Private instruction is a great supplement to the training you have received in your group lessons. With private lessons, you will progress faster than by taking group lessons alone. The personalized attention and energy of an instructor during a private lesson can be a tremendous advantage.

During the one-hour private lesson, you can choose what areas to focus on. You can ask Eduardo Rocha about techniques.

No Gi:

A general term describing the aspect of martial arts that focus on clinch and ground fighting with the aim of obtaining a submission using submission holds. The term "No Gi" usually refers only to the form of competition and training that does not use a "jacket", "gi," or "combat kimono".

Advanced (Monday, Wednesday, Friday mornings):

This class is for those who want to excel beyond normal students, those who want to work hard to become a champion. These students aspire to one day become a Black Belt!

The class is divided into four sections: strength & conditioning, techniques, drilling, and sparring. It's a complete training program for who want to challenge themselves!
