BJJ Fundamentals

Our BJJ Fundamentals class is designed to ease you into the world of BJJ by focusing on the basics, giving you a strong foundation to build upon. Instead of being thrown into advanced techniques right away, you’ll learn the essentials in a relaxed and controlled environment.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers thousands of techniques, including sweeps, chokes, pins, escapes, guard passes, ankle locks, knee locks, and more. With so much to learn, it can feel overwhelming—whether you’re new to the sport or an experienced practitioner.

What You’ll Learn:

Foundational elements: Posture, breathing, grip placement, shrimping, framing, leveraging, bridging, and more.
Basic attacks: Techniques like the armbar and triangle choke.
Guard and mount positions: Learn open and closed guard, half guard, full mount, side mount, and others.
Escapes: Practice basic escapes when you’re in a mounted position.

Your instructor will pair you with an experienced student to practice these skills. Your partner will give you time to drill each move until you feel confident. As you progress, they will add resistance to help you improve.
