How the classes are structured
Every class starts with a very light general warmup. This is followed by a few partner drills that improve fundamental movement skills for BJJ (you learn these in our BJJ basic course).
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 is positional and free sparring (about 30 minutes total) at the end of each class.
