Staff Notice Board W23/24

Weekly BJJ Classes

  • I am changing the class format for the beginners BJJ classes.
    • I believe the class format for the beginners has been slowly getting more technical which on one hand is a very good thing, but on another not so much.
    • I strongly believe people starting out are finding the content too hard. We need to remember what is was like when we first started BJJ.
    • I am going back to something similar to what we were doing about 5 or so years ago. Basic techniques that are taught in the same format each month, the techniques in that format will change each month for 4 months then recycle.
    • We are not looking to make Blue Belts out of the beginners course, just give people the foundations they need for a solid starting base.
    • White Belts will no longer stay in the beginners class until blue, I will move people up to the advanced class once I see the have a solid foundation and the right attitude. Which will also no longer hold people back that only wish to do NoGi (Still no idea why people don’t want to something as cool and technical as Gi).
  • Fundamentals classes
    • I am changing the Friday nights class to a  fundamentals class.
    • This class is to fill the gap between General Classes and the Beginners Class, but is for all belt to make sure their mid level skills are solid.
    • The lessons from the Fundamentals Classes can also be drawn on for use in the General Classes.
      • In time there will be a index for these classes to help coaches find a class if they are looking for something to teach within the weekly theme.
