We know that it is a challenge to offer a program that will meet the expectations of those who are pursuing a master in this gentle art. Thus, we have collaborated our skills and teaching methods to create this program. For the first time we are making available an entire learning process that will guide our affiliates through an authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu curriculum.

As to learning BJJ, we expect that learners will use discipline and effort to empower them to overcome this challenge and succeed in this goal.

We strive to use the essence taught by our masters, that comes from a lineage of lightweigh fighters such as Grandmaster Helio Gracie. This means, for example, for a large fighter to defend an attack of an armbar from guard he can stand up and pull his arm out and he will be safe. This doesn't work for those who are lightweight. Every single technique we do is using pure leverage - the essence of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! Anyone who absorbs such fine techniques can become an amazing fighter - as long as they beat the first obstacle: the temptation to use muscle before mind!

Rank advancement is based on challenging proficiency tests and in some cases, by outstanding tournament performance. Our white belt program alone has 135 comprehensive techniques that are mandatory to master. The WBJJA curriculum will enable our affiliates to offer authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for years. The result? Check out our blog!
