UCHI Foundations

Start from the beginning. Learn the fundamentals.
Build the confidence to join regular classes.
- The UCHI Foundations Program is a structured four-week introduction to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu designed specifically for adults with little or no previous experience.

- 1 structured Foundations class each week

- Step-by-step instruction in the core positions of Jiu-Jitsu
