“We make it possible for martial artists to study authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu”

Our program empowers you with opportunity to advance in rank, become a certified instructor, and offer membership in the WBJJA to your students. Achieving your Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and becoming certified as a BJJ instructor is a reality through us.

“We maintain standardized curriculum and processes”

Our Brazilian Black Belt board oversees all information development to ensure continued accuracy of media dispensed to members. By their directive, each member is to receive segment specific courseware in written or e‐document and video media form to enhance their human understanding and retention process. Instructor trainee materials provide complete knowledge of the belt level studied and covers all stripe levels there within. Student materials for each belt level are divided into five segments and designed as reference media to support their instructor’s teachings per stripe level. In doing this both our instructor trainees and their students will have access to the most comprehensive distance Brazilian Jiu‐Jitsu learning program available.

We maintain standardized rank validation methods

Instructor trainee belt testing is a requirement to ensure that the belt structure system we endorse is conducted by traditional standards. It is paramount this process remain 100% BJJ. Instructors ready to rank test are required to either come to a rank test advancement clinic or make provisions for one of our certified Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Instructors to visit come to them. It is also available through video conference in some cases, except for the final test that is mandatory to be in-person. Rank accreditation of our distance WBJJA Instructor Trainee members are assessed, validated, and processed by our Brazilian Black Belt board. Assessment testing consists of both practical application and written form of rank knowledge. Member rank test advancement clinics are held several times each year in several countries to accommodate our members’ diverse training schedules.

Testimonials
 
I know that I can speak for everyone and say that we had a fantastic time training with you and your students. Everyone was a pleasure to work with and was very helpful. I'm extremely impressed with the depth of your knowledge and even more importantly your willingness to share your experience. Something our Grandmaster in Japan told me, rings true with you and your organization, 'to only train with those that have a pure heart'. Its very important for me as an Instructor to constantly push myself outside of my comfort zone and to strive to always improve in my study of the martial arts. Have you had an opportunity to try any of our 'Cincinnati' food? I know that its not as good as the Brazilian meal (feijoada) that you prepared for us. We will continue to study with diligence and look forward to coming down and seeing you again.

What I have seen of the DVD is excellent. It is far beyond what I was expecting and far more advanced than the other BJJ schools I have experienced in Australia.

The DVDs are very good. I have trained before in most of the techniques. There are slight differences in what I have trained in and in your techniques. You seem to grip the sleeves more for leverage and control, where I have more locking or trapping the arm before performing a reversal or a transition or a submission. Just small stuff that I can easily adjust. I actually think your way is better. Especially arm bar from the guard. Instead of monkey gripping cross arm and cross facing etc.. it seems like I have more control by grabbing the sleeve across my centerline and collar grab palm up (like your DVD), and your way seems easier to teach. Anyway thanks again for a great training tool. My goal is to start BJJ training at my school come September teaching the WBJJA way! Hope to meet you soon.
