You can also review all the main techniques from the current block directly on our Vimeo page.
Our Jiu-Jitsu curriculum is broken down into 5-week blocks. Each block covers a sequence of techniques. Video recordings of the techniques of the current block are available on our Vimeo channel
Week structure:
Note: Little Kids program (5-6yo) doesn’t always follow this structure but instead focuses on games that help students build a strong foundation around the main Jiu-Jitsu positions.
Our Striking curriculum is also broken down into 5-week blocks.
Typical week structure:
Note: Attending striking classes does not go toward a student’s promotion in Jiu-Jitsu. We also do not implement a striking ranking system.
Students are encouraged to review the techniques at home with their siblings or parents as long as it is playful and not forceful
1. To pass, students have to demonstrate all 3 techniques with 80% accuracy and no pause longer than 2 seconds while the other partner gives a 10% resistance
2. Students can receive help in the beginning but then have to demonstrate the technique on their own to pass. The coach can give 1 support prompt when testing.
3. (Updated 5/24) To be eligible for a promotion, students must attend at least 6 classes since their last promotion and within 2 months. It meant that if a student trains once a week, it would take longer to be promoted compared to a student training twice a week.
4. Students are not eligible for promotion if they receive a single discipline call (type 1) during testing class or 2 discipline calls (type 2 or 3) in the past 3 weeks. These calls are tracked on our picture board.

Parents have an important role in their children’s progress. Here are the 5 best practices we recommend our parents:
This is an excellent guide for parents
Jiu-Jitsu is not easy. It is physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding. Few students may show signs they want to quit before their first belt promotion which is in 6 to 12 months. If your child has lost motivation, please reach out so we can discuss potential options. Sometimes it doesn’t take much to build back a student’s interest. A simple discussion can uncover why the student is no longer having fun. Making small adjustments in their next classes, attending other classes, or doing a private class can put your child back on track.
