So What Are The 6 Building Blocks?

The principles that make jiu-jitsu work - regardless of age, size, or athletic ability

⚓ Base

You can't be swept. You can't be taken down. You're structurally sound.

🔗 Connection

You control people without strength. You're fighting the whole skeleton, not just limbs.

⚖️ Weight Distribution

Your pressure feels heavy without being 300 lbs. You can apply weight from top and bottom positions.

⏱️ Timing

You stop rushing. You stop forcing. You move when they move. Your techniques work.

🎯 The Middle

You control the center line. You own inside position. You stop wasting energy.

📏 Distance Management

You know when to be close and when to be far. You stop getting passed because of wrong distance.

Imagine This

You sweep someone bigger without effort.

You roll for 6 rounds and you're not gassed.

Your training partner asks "how did you do that?"

You realize you're not just surviving - you're playing.

Class makes sense. You understand what's happening in the rolls.

You go home without ice packs.

Your body feels better after training, not worse.

This is what happens when you understand the Building Blocks.

You're not fighting strength with strength anymore.

You're using structure. Connection. Timing.

You're doing jiu-jitsu the way it was meant to be done.

Gentle. Efficient. Sustainable.

Here's What's Actually Happening on the Mats

You showed up because jiu-jitsu is supposed to be "the gentle art."

Technique over strength. Leverage over athleticism.

But that's not what you're experiencing.

Instead:

You're getting smashed by people who are just stronger and more athletic.

You're relying on speed and scrambling because you don't know what else to do.

Your body hurts. Your neck. Your shoulders. Your back.

You feel like you need to be 10 years younger to keep up.

You're learning hundreds of techniques but none of them work when you actually roll.

You're starting to wonder if jiu-jitsu is for you.

Here's the truth:

The gentle art is real. But nobody taught you the principles that make it gentle.

Most BJJ Teaching is Backwards

My name is Chris "Bones" Burns, a two stripe black belt under Master Rickson Gracie.

Chris "Bones" Burns with Master Rickson Gracie

For my first 10 years in Jiu-Jitsu, I was just getting destroyed. Two medial tendons snapped. Cracked ribs. Torn ligaments. Broken bones. Fingers destroyed. I couldn't even stand up straight because my spine was damaged trying to do some flashy guard.

Most gyms I went to showed me hundreds of techniques. There was no structure.

Week 1: Armbar from closed guard.

Week 2: Escaping mount

Week 3: Wrestling from standing

I was hoping somewhere in the pile of moves I would find something that would work for me before my body broke completely.

But everything changed when I found Rickson and learned what Jiu-Jitsu truly is:

"Jiu-Jitsu is efficiency."

I packed all my stuff, lived out of my car, and invested everything to learn from him.

The key principles he taught me became the antidote to the technique frenzy that dominates sport Jiu-Jitsu today. Now, my mission is to preserve and share the 'Art' he entrusted to me – especially for those who want to train without constant injuries and setbacks.

Now I teach my students the same thing. Get the building blocks right then add the techniques.

You can't build a house without a foundation.

And you can't do jiu-jitsu without understanding these 6 Building Blocks.
