How Does Our Adult Jiu Jitsu Program Work?
ADULT BASICS
Jiu Jitsu can be a hard and intimidating activity to get into. The focus of our basics class is to help prepare the mind and body for our higher level classes. We start with a short movement specific warm up to help us warm up the joints and muscles. From there we progress to our technical instruction and drilling time. Our focus is to teach the basic principles, transitions, and techniques of all position. Drilling takes place with a compliant partner and resistance level remains relatively low. This helps the student gain a fundamental understanding which can be tested in our intermediate and advanced level classes. This class is perfect for those with no background or training.
Recommended: White through Black belt
ADULT INTERMEDIATE
This class takes the foundation that is established in our basics class, and we begin to build. In this class we start developing our technique chains and sequences. Part of our intermediate classes includes positional sparring. In this section of class your instructor will explain the position and situation, and then your training partner will provide live and more active resistance. We do this in an effort to help wire our brain, and create new pathways to help us make decisions under stress.
Recommended White belt through Black belt
ADULT ALL LEVELS – NO GI
Students can expect to work on specialized positions and technique. This class is a combination of compliant partner drilling, positional, and neutral sparring.
Recommended: White through Black Belt
