Fundamentals Reset!

This week we begin the Fundamentals Rotation anew, having come to the end of our 11 week cycle last week.  Don’t think of Fundamentals as being “beginner” techniques!  While the Fundamentals classes are designed to be very novice friendly, students of all levels of Jiu Jitsu can always sharpen their basic skill set as well.  In truth, advancing your skill set is often a matter of practicing your basics against more and more advanced competitors!

This week will be the fundamentals of posture and basic closed guard work.  These are skills everyone can continue to develop!

These are also excellent classes for a brand new student to start with!  Remember, we are still having our win an iPad contest from now until October.  Student who gets the most sign ups will win a free iPad!
