Uchi Academy’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program is built so students of every skill, fitness and experience level can train together. Our structured, linear curriculum focuses on fundamental ground and self-defense techniques that stack lesson-to-lesson, so you continually build practical, real-world fighting skills — taught and practiced in the safest possible environment.
Weekly schedule
Whether you’re brand new or experienced, you’ll find clear progressions, drilling, and live application that move you forward every week.
Our curriculum follows a structured class rotation designed to simplify the self-defense and Jiu-Jitsu learning process. Classes progress in a linear format, cycling through each position, technique, and concept every quarter. This approach allows students to sharpen their fundamentals while continuously evolving their game with new transitions and techniques.
For New Students:
You can join at any point in the rotation and fit right in. Each class connects to the next, and you’ll benefit not only from the instructors but also from training alongside higher-ranking students eager to share their experience.
For Experienced Students:
The rotation ensures consistent review of fundamentals while also layering in advanced transitions and techniques. This combination helps you refine your base skills, expand your game, and develop your own style of Jiu-Jitsu.
Each lesson is built on the foundational principles of our art—base, leverage, pressure, connection, and distance management—ensuring these essentials are never forgotten as your knowledge grows.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches you to be fully present in the moment. On the mats, situations that might normally trigger panic or fear become opportunities to slow down, analyze, and respond with clarity.
Rather than relying on instinct alone, BJJ cultivates an analytical mindset—training your body and mind to work together under pressure. It is the art of staying calm in chaos, using technique, control, and the mind-body connection to overcome challenges both on and off the mats.

As you start the journey your focus and time spent with the white belt is on the fundamental self defense prevention and survival strategies of stages 1 to 3.
