How Most Academies Set Beginners Up To Fail
80 to 90% of new BJJ students quit before reaching blue belt... many within their first few months.
Most academies throw beginners straight into sparring before they’ve learned how to move safely or defend themselves intelligently.
The result? Injuries, frustration, and an early exit from what could have been a life-changing experience.
The Solution...
A Smarter Way to Learn Jiu-Jitsu
Most beginners quit Jiu-Jitsu because they’re thrown into chaos before they’re ready.
We created our Fundamentals Program to change all that.
Our 17-week rotating curriculum teaches simple, effective Jiu-Jitsu safely, progressively, and with purpose, helping students build clarity, competence, and confidence.
No confusion. No intimidation. Just clear progress one class at a time, ultimately preparing them for sparring in our Intermediate/Advanced BJJ classes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be in shape to start?
Not at all. Classes are scaled for beginners. You’ll get in shape through Jiu-Jitsu, not before it. As long as your body works, you can do this.
Am I too old to start?
Probably not. Our curriculum focuses on efficiency over athleticism. We have beginners in their 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond.
What if I have old injuries or limited mobility?
We prioritize safety and emphasize natural range of motion. As long as you're cleared by your medical we can adapt most techniques to work with your unique limitations.
