This course will guide our first-timer students on a path for success toward their black belt. The “Intro Beginner Course” is created to teach the most important concepts, values and movements/techniques which belong to Jiu-Jitsu base so students has a solid foundation to build upon onwards. As a modern-day martial art, the belief of most newbies is that Jiu-Jitsu is for winning street fights, a way for a smaller person to win an encounter against a larger attacker, or that fighting thing from mixed martial arts shows. This is why, we must always ensure that the new student is nurtured by the most fundamental knowledge of self-defense techniques in both classical and modern jiu-jitsu. If they choose to continue training or not, they will have insight in potentially life-saving techniques and also gain understanding into leverage and the extent of Jiu-jitsu positions techniques, concepts and philosophy. In these first lessons, the student will focus on basic techniques. These moves will display leverage, positioning, and defensive strategies against would-be aggressors. From the standing positions, the new students will learn how Jiu-jitsu uses submission holds to end encounters, how Jiu-Jitsu allows you to bring the fight to the ground through takedowns for incredible control, and how to counter common scenarios like standing punches, kicks, locks, and varying grips. At the end of the first part of the curriculum created by Professor Leo Machado, the students are ready to combine this newfound knowledge to fundamental ground attacks; many of which will feel much more familiar and make more sense after completing the first part of our curriculum.
