CURRICULUM, WEEK OF March 9th

This week in class, we’re focusing on one of the most important aspects of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—getting the fight to the ground on your terms. Each day, we’ll cover a different way to initiate control from standing, starting with the double-leg takedown, moving to single-leg attacks, and finishing with guard pulling. Whether you're a wrestler, a judo player, or prefer a more guard-centric approach, understanding these techniques will help you dictate where the fight goes.

The key is to take the fight to a position where you feel most comfortable and in control. A well-executed takedown or guard pull can mean the difference between starting in an advantageous position or fighting from behind. By drilling these entries and transitions, you'll develop confidence in getting the match to your preferred zone, whether that's on top with pressure or from a dangerous guard. See you on the mats!
