Mission Statement

The mission for the beginner guide series is to lay a foundation through a linear progression.

One of the main difficulties for beginners is to be able to comprehend all the information in your first months of jiu jitsu. The beginner's guide will help you understand where you should be placing your attention and putting your main effort of concentration.

The intention of the series is not to teach every variation or trick of a technique or even to go into a lot of detail but it’s to stress the parts of the position that ultimately make a majority of techniques work efficiently.

In most “advanced” techniques there is usually a core principle that allows that technique to be successful. It’s those core principles that this series is highlighting.

Our goal upon completion of the series is that a person will be able to understand the main positions, the hierarchy of positions, and to lay a strong foundation to build future techniques.
