For the last two years I have been helping students breakthrough plateaus by giving them just 4 building blocks to think about instead of 5,000 techniques.

My 10-Year Search for Real Jiu-Jitsu

I spent 10 years wandering through gym after gym trying to learn the Jiu-Jitsu that Royce Gracie made famous in the UFC — where the little guy beats everyone.

Instead, I found random collections of techniques that only worked if you were already athletic. Every class started with elaborate 10-step moves that fell apart against bigger opponents. The solution? "Get stronger."

The physical toll was brutal. Snapped knees. Cracked ribs. Broken fingers. I couldn't stand up straight for years.

I started Jiu-Jitsu to defend myself against bullies. Ironically, every class became me getting bullied and beaten — forced to survive rather than learn.

After more than a decade of searching, I finally found Master Rickson Gracie and discovered the 'building blocks' of Jiu-Jitsu.

That's when everything changed.

Let Me Explain How

Since 2023 I have been helping students understand Jiu-Jitsu in a different way.

Jiu-Jitsu is supposed to stand for "The Gentle Art". It's supposed to be for EVERYONE - not just the athletically gifted.

There is no need to learn 5,000 different moves in order to make progress.

I've helped over 16,000+ students learn and make progress in Jiu-Jitsu by teaching them the Building Blocks.

The 3 Biggest Problems (And How The Core 4 Solves Them)

There's too much to learn before I can get better

There are 5,000 techniques you can learn just about the guard. It is overwhelming and it's always changing.

The Solution:

Focus on the Core 4 Building Blocks and understand why Jiu-Jitsu works instead of trying to memorize all the moves.

I can't attend training enough

Life does get in the way of Jiu-Jitsu. Maybe you have a family, a job and commitments and you can only train 1-2x a week. That doesn't mean you cannot make progress fast.

The Solution:

Use the Core 4 Building Blocks to make the most out of your classes and training sessions by knowing what is really going on instead of guessing.

My body can't keep up

Most of the injuries that happen on the mat are caused by you doing something stupid or by your training partner. You need to know how to stay safe and in control of the roll and win without going 100% every time.

The Solution:

Use the Core 4 Building Blocks to discover that Jiu-Jitsu is not just for athletes and you can train safely and still make progress. You can succeed by being efficient and wise.
