Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals

Jiu Jitsu can feel overwhelming – there is so much to learn and so many positions to become familiar with!

This course will simplify all that for you and help you feel less lost and confused. It will help you streamline your training to focus on the most successful, high percentage BJJ techniques and prevent you from wasting time and energy trying things that are ineffective.

Tony has been training BJJ for over 18 years and is a 2nd degree black belt. He has coached full-time for 15 years (strength training) as well as 8 years of BJJ. He has a reputation for breaking things down in a clear, concise, easy to understand manner that will let you pick things up quickly.

• Learn the most effective techniques from all the major positions in Jiu Jitsu: closed guard, guard passing, half guard, submissions and pins, escapes from bad positions, and takedowns.
• If you are serious about taking your BJJ to the next level QUICKLY then this course will be your best friend – it focuses on the most effective fundamental techniques that ACTUALLY WORK rather than moves that might look cool but you’ll never hit in rolling.
• Tony teaches not only specific techniques but also CONCEPTS that will serve you all the way from white belt to black belt.

Starting BJJ is exciting, but it can also feel intimidating and overwhelming. There is SO MUCH material to learn, so many different positions, techniques, and so on … it can feel daunting. The best thing you can do is systematize everything so that you can break your learning up into digestible chunks rather than trying to do it all at once.

In the BJJ Fundamentals course, Tony breaks down the fundamentals into six easy to understand categories: 1) closed guard, 2) guard passing, 3) half-guard, 4) pins and submissions, 5) escapes, and 6) takedowns. This easy to follow system makes learning a breeze and will help you easily find techniques to help the areas of your game that you struggle with most.

Even if you have already been training for a while, we all know that we tend to forget more material than we retain. The BJJ Fundamentals course can be a great way for a grappler with some experience to review all the details of fundamental techniques to help tighten things up when they roll.

If you are new to BJJ, one place you probably find yourself A LOT if stuck pinned down on the bottom … side control, mount, and so on. This can be SO FRUSTRATING and it can feel like it is impossible to get out. While there is not always an easy or obvious way out, knowing the right techniques and strategies can be a GAME CHANGER to help you survive and ultimately make your escape.

Another area many BJJ athletes struggle with is takedowns – they can be pretty scary for many people, and a lot of people don’t know where to start. Tony helps get you comfortable with grappling from your feet, showing you how to take falls safely, different movement strategies, and a handful of the most effective and easy to learn takedowns to help you build confidence in your standing game.
