Everything you need to know to go from white belt to blue belt
After finishing our basic course you should be familiar with the most common positions and know some options from both the offensive and defensive. Now it is time to dive deeper and really explore all the fundamental positions.
In our fundamentals classes you will learn everything from our white to blue belt curriculum.

How the classes are structured
Every class starts with a light guard passing/guard retention minigame for warming up. We don’t do hard warmups at the BJJ Lab. We have a gym area that you can use if you want to do additional strength and conditioning.
In our fundamentals program we focus on teaching a system and not just isolated techniques.
When you learn a technique, we also cover the common reactions that opponents will give you and how to counter those reactions. Instead of trying to force a technique on your opponent, the sport now becomes a battle of wits and timing.
There are about 30 minutes of technique and about 45 minutes of sparring (a mix of minigames, positional and free sparring) during the class.
