Sharpen Your Game

Focused, technical training for practitioners who want to compete, improve, and develop a distinct style.

Advanced Training

What We Focus On

Positional Drilling

Intensive rounds from specific positions — closed guard, half guard, back mount, leg entanglements. Building instinctive responses through repetition.

Live Rolling

Extended live rounds against training partners of varying sizes, styles, and experience levels. The most important element of your development as a BJJ player.

Competition Prep

Strategy sessions, game planning, and simulated competition rounds. Develop a match plan that plays to your strengths and neutralises your opponents'.

Technique Refinement

Working the fine details — grips, entries, transitions, and finishing sequences. The difference between a good technique and a great one is in the details.

Physical Conditioning

BJJ-specific strength and conditioning work integrated into training. Building the explosive power, endurance, and injury resilience that competition demands.

Film Study

When relevant, reviewing footage of matches and training to identify patterns, tendencies, and areas for improvement.

Competing

The Journey

Belt Progression

BJJ has five primary belts for adults. Each represents a genuine level of competence — not a milestone you buy or schedule your way to.

White Belt

The beginning. Learning survival, escapes, and fundamental positions. Avg. 1–2 years to blue.

Blue Belt

Solid foundation. A wide technique library and ability to hold your own rolling. Avg. 2–3 years to purple.

Purple Belt

Developing your game. Starting to specialise in positions and submissions. Avg. 1.5–2 years to brown.

Brown Belt

Near the top of the sport. Refining and mastering. Your coach Chris holds this belt. Avg. 1+ years to black.

Black Belt

Mastery. Typically 10+ years from white belt for dedicated training. A lifelong achievement.
