03 / ADULT PROGRAMMES
LEARN. UNDERSTAND. APPLY.
Jiu Jitsu evolves with us.
At first, we learn the language: positions, movements and fundamental principles. Over time, we understand how these elements connect. And with experience, we learn to use them deliberately against resistance and adapt them to different situations.
Our programmes guide you along this path.
Our adult programmes generally start at age 15. Participation at age 14 or 15 requires approval from the coaches.
FUNDAMENTALS
White Belts Only · 60 min.
Your Jiu Jitsu starts here.
In Fundamentals, we take time to explore the fundamental positions, movements and mechanics of Jiu Jitsu. Not just: What do I do? But above all: Why does it work?
Each class includes a warm-up, a focused technique block and controlled resistance from the positions of the day. Depending on the class, this may also include your first rounds of free sparring.
Less at once. More time to understand.
For newcomers and beginners

The foundation we keep returning to.
Essentials connects fundamental techniques into a broader understanding. Positions do not stand alone. Actions create reactions. Control opens up possibilities. One decision leads to the next.
Warm-ups, technique, specific training, resistance and free sparring create the space to experience these connections, rather than simply know them.
Because the fundamentals never stop mattering. We simply get better at understanding them.
For all levels
ADVANCED
Blue Belt and above · 90 min.
When technique becomes strategy.
Advanced training assumes a solid technical foundation and focuses more closely on timing, decisions, reactions and strategy.
What happens when your opponent knows what you are planning? How do you create reactions? How do you connect options? How do you adapt your Jiu Jitsu to different opponents and situations?
More resistance. More specific situations. More sparring.
Not more complicated for its own sake — but deeper.
