Curriculum

What Students Learn

Students develop a foundation in positions, technique, control, and live application. Training progresses from foundational skills to more advanced situations as each student develops.

Wrestling is integrated into the jiu-jitsu curriculum to develop takedowns, balance, control, and transitions between standing and ground positions. Gi training runs Wednesday and Thursday, and no-gi runs the rest of the week.
