Done-for-you classes. Use these planned classes to add structure t
This program presents the fundamental self-defence techniques of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, in an initiative that aims to preserve the essence of the art with a modern vision of what the knowledge and practice of self-defence can offer all people.
This is the self-defence curriculum that we teach to all Atlantic Jiu-Jitsu students. The program’s design, presents detailed videos for each technique, developed to transmit the details that are most important to learn.
The program presented in two ways, Modules and Curriculum.
- The Modules are to provide a library of the related positions and techniques, and
- The curriculum is designed to bring each student from total beginner to competent practitioner
The videos emphasise and repeats the important moments and moves. The voice-over and the graphical punctuation of key words offer the practitioner an enhanced perspective on these fundamental techniques. We hope you will absorb the benefits of technical and personal evolution that self-defence practice can give to you.
