Adult Beginner Jiu Jitsu
This class is for mature teens and adult alike. Each class starts with basic breakfalls to avoid any falling injuries plus a simple solo movement that links to the class techniques. Thereafter, the daily Self Defence technique is taught and practiced. Next the class learns one of the techniques from the 26 lesson Beginners Program. A Loop Drill is then taught which links the current and previously taught techniques creating a flow and exchange between the two students to help review, correct and solidify any mistimed, incorrect or feedback opportunities. The class then splits and you determine what you feel like partaking in – the continuation of the Loop Drill or Positional Sparring. Positional Sparring is when you are put with another student to attempt to perform the technique that was learn in class but with a defensive, countering and offensive mindset. This is the safest way to learn Jiu Jitsu as you both know what is expected, so you can anticipate movements, apply strategy and learn the position as well as its offensive/defensive techniques. This is very popular and safe.
The Beginners Jiu Jitsu class is a 26 lesson program developed by Grandmaster Helio Gracie whom is the father of Master Royler Gracie, Professor Will’s instructor. This includes over 100 techniques that will ensure you are safe moving around on the tatami (mats), safe training with you partners and most importantly safe if you were confronted on the streets, at work, commuting or with friends and family. Academy etiquette and other do’s and don’ts of Jiu Jitsu are passed on during these classes. This class is ideal for all new students to attend to achieve maximise their ability to earn their first of four straps on their white belt prior to grading to Blue Belt. It is repeated year in and year out. This class is also very popular with coloured belts as updates on the techniques are share in real time as Professor Will learns them via studying, training and learning from his teacher – Master Royler Gracie.
All Levels Jiu Jitsu
This class is also for mature teens and adults alike. Very similar to the Adult Beginners class the class starts with basic breakfalls to avoid any falling injuries plus a simple solo movement that links to the class techniques. Thereafter, the daily Self Defence technique is review and practiced. Next the class learns a complementary technique to the Adult Beginners Jiu Jitsu technique taught in the class prior, this creates an attacking/defense combination. A Loop Drill is then taught which links the current and previously taught techniques creating a flow and exchange between the two students to help review, correct and solidify any mistimed, incorrect or feedback opportunities. This is when the All Levels class differs to the Adult Beginners – Jiu Jitsu Matches are practiced for a minimum of 30 minutes.
This class doesn’t not have a 26 Lesson Program, it is purpose is to expose the students to as many different positions, techniques, strategies, mindsets and training protocols so the students can create their own style of Jiu Jitsu – often refed to as game. Professor Will’s goal in this class to help the students by training with them, teaching them new positions/techniques/details to add to their style/game. As students train for months, years and decades they need to be able to adapt their style to all the external factors that affect training Jiu Jitsu – these adaptations he has learnt from his teacher Master Royler Gracie and his brothers, all of which have trained their whole lives, are in their 50-70’s and have had to do the same. In this class there are many great conversations, collaborations and moments.
