INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED BJJ (13+)
You’ve built your foundation. Now it’s time to refine it. Our Intermediate / Advanced Program is where simple, effective, and efficient Jiu-Jitsu turns into advanced skill you can trust on any mat, against any opponent.
If you’ve trained before, you know how it goes: random techniques, inconsistent sparring, a handful of “cool moves” that fall apart under pressure. Without a system, progress slows, frustration builds, and injuries creep in.
You deserve better than to have to guess your way through Jiu-Jitsu.
At Big Mike’s BJJ in Oak Harbor, we take the timeless fundamentals, then we refine, systematize, and pressure-test them until they work at a higher level. Think of it as Advanced Basics... Jiu-Jitsu that’s simple enough to remember, effective enough to win with, and efficient enough to carry you through your 40s, 50s, and beyond.
Every class blends technical study with live rounds so you sharpen skill, timing, and awareness—without sacrificing safety. Our curriculum and promotion standards (knowledge + experience + skill) keep you accountable every step of the way.
🎯
We focus on simple techniques that work anywhere, under any rule set. Fewer moving parts mean faster learning and fewer breakdowns under pressure.
📚
You’ll always know exactly what to learn next. Our online digital curriculum lays out promotion requirements by knowledge, experience, and skill. No guessing.
🛡️
Skill development always comes before “winning the round.” You’ll roll often, but safely, with partners who respect control and progression.
