How the classes are structured
Every class starts with a light guard passing/guard retention minigame for warming up. We don’t do hard warmups at the BJJ Lab. We have a gym area that you can use if you want to do additional strength and conditioning.
In our fundamentals program we focus on teaching a system and not just isolated techniques.
When you learn a technique, we also cover the common reactions that opponents will give you and how to counter those reactions. Instead of trying to force a technique on your opponent, the sport now becomes a battle of wits and timing.
There are about 30 minutes of technique and about 45 minutes of sparring (a mix of minigames, positional and free sparring) during the class.
