Program Levels

Level 1 (Fundamentals)
The focus is on making their initial Jiu-Jitsu experience enjoyable and productive. Students remain at this level until they develop confidence in core techniques and basic sparring. Students are comfortable with the basics at this stage and begin refining their technical abilities. Classes involve more drills and structured sparring to create a dynamic and stimulating learning environment. This level also helps students build resilience, concentration, and the ability to ask technical questions effectively.

Level 2 (Advanced)
This level is designed for students preparing for competitive Jiu-Jitsu. Training is more intensive, with an emphasis on competition-style sparring and strategy. Consistency in training and competition participation is required to remain in this program.

Program Belt Ranks

Frequently Asked Questions

How does my child advance from Level 1 to Level 2?
Progression is based on skill, focus, and instructor evaluations. Unlike belt promotions, which recognise effort and consistency, level promotions are tied to technical readiness. Parents can consult instructors for progress updates and consider private lessons for additional development.

How does my child qualify for Level 2?
Students must demonstrate advanced technical skills or strong competition performance to qualify.

When can my child start competing?
Competition readiness depends on individual progress and instructor recommendations.
