Student of Master Rickson Gracie

Chris BONES Burns

"Teach it like you fucking mean it!" That's his philosophy.

Preserving the Art of Jiu-Jitsu

Chris's mission is teaching the most efficient way to do Jiu-Jitsu. He wants to preserve the Art he was taught by Master Rickson Gracie. He believes that Jiu-Jitsu is composed of core concepts and movements that ANYONE can learn and use to improve.

Strength, flexibility and athleticism are great, but should not define your Jiu-Jitsu. Whether you're 12 or 70, you can train and progress.

Chris Bones Burns - 2nd Degree Black Belt
🎯 CHRIS'S PHILOSOPHY

The 6 Building Blocks of Jiu-Jitsu

Chris believes that Jiu-Jitsu can be understood through these fundamental concepts.

Rather than memorizing countless techniques, focus on mastering these principles that apply to every situation on the mats.

πŸͺ¨

Base

Your foundation on the mats. When your base is solid, you become difficult to move and can work from a position of stability.

Essential for joint protection and energy conservation

🧲

Connection

How you attach to your training partner. Proper connection creates control and makes your movements more effective.

Helps neutralize size and athletic advantages

βš–οΈ

Weight Distribution

Understanding how to use gravity and body mechanics efficiently. Work smarter, not harder.

Reduces physical strain and prevents injury

⏱️

Timing

Knowing when to act is as important as knowing how. Recognition of the right moment makes techniques flow naturally.

Allows for efficient use of energy and effort

🎯

Finding the Middle

Being in the middle is important for timing. You don't want to be early or late, too high or too low, behind or in front; you want to be in the Zero Point.

Creates natural leverage and control opportunities

πŸ“

Distance Management

Being aware of and controlling the space between you and your training partner. Distance dictates what techniques are available.

Critical for both offensive and defensive positioning

Why These Principles Matter

πŸ’‘

Universal application across all positions and techniques

🎯

Focus on concepts rather than memorizing sequences

πŸ—οΈ

Build a foundation that supports lifelong learning

⚑

Develop intuitive understanding of movement

πŸ›‘οΈ

Train safely and sustainably at any age

🎨

Express your individual style within proven frameworks

Chris's Teaching Approach

"I want students to understand the 'why' behind every movement. When you grasp these core principles, Jiu-Jitsu becomes simple."

πŸ“ HOW IT ALL STARTED

From Sydney Gym to 100k+ Followers

Chris moved from America to Sydney and started teaching at a local gym. One day, while teaching a class at, the gym’s social media manager saw him coach for the first time and was mind blown. His teaching was clear, sharp, and completely different from anything she’d seen before.

"β€œYou’re going to go viral,” she told him. β€œLet me film you.”"

Chris said yes, not knowing that simple question would change everything.

What Students Are Saying

D

"Not everyone can instruct but you sir can"

A

"Amazing, I've been training for 3 months. Love the way you explain it"

πŸ‘₯

"Loving your videos. So easy to grasp! Thank you"

B

"The concepts you teach are absolutely genius and the way you deliver them is so palatable to me. I wish I lived closer because you would have a student for life"

J

"Don't talk less. You are explaining details that 99% of instructors don't explain or simply just don't know."

Let's Be Honest

Chris never wanted to be social media famous. He's teaching online because it helps people learn Jiu-Jitsu and preserves the art for future generations.

Some people don't like his detailed, systematic approach. They prefer flashy techniques over fundamentals. And that's completely fine.
