‘I’m a blue belt..I thought I need a Black Belt to:’
Hosting a BJJ/Surf Camp
You don't need a black belt to host an awesome BJJ/surf camp. What counts is your passion, energy, and ability to create a fun and supportive environment. If someone is negative about your belt color, those are the people you don’t want to show up for your camp anyways. Good vibes only!
Teaching Privates
No, giving the right attention and being relatable is everything. If you can connect with students, boost their confidence, and follow a professional structure, they'll learn more from you than from most black belt.
Teaching Classes
Structure and consistency are what BJJ classes are missing. Creating a relaxed and positive learning environment, knowing what to teach and what to save for later, and creating context for positions are far more important than your belt color.
Open A Gym
Opening a gym is about building community, clever business strategy, giving great classes, and a hundred other things than having a black belt. If you can create a welcoming space and teach in a way people can understand, they will love your gym not based on your belt but on who you are and what you do.

White belts can learn BJJ using this course, and start teaching as blue belts with a optimal foundation.
Blue belts can teach beginners courses, kids classes, lead warm-ups, and be an assistant coach, and get invaluable experience early in their career.
We believe that blue belts can be the best teachers, because they:
✅Have less ego
✅Keep It Simple
✅Feel less pressure
✅Have lots of passion
✅Can relate

Why was a blue belt your best help as a BJJ beginner?
‘Even if he wasn’t the most knowledgeable, he was more able and motivated to connect with me.
The black belts in the room just wanted to bark out some technique instructions and got frustrated when people couldn’t -Get it- right away.’

Learn The Fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu
If there will ever be a global standard for what a blue belt is (that will probably never happen), this course would be it.
When you've integrated this course in your skillset, you have a good grasp of the basics; and we think that should be the very definition of a blue belt!
It's impossible to quality ensure your belt online, and the lack of skill in online blue belts is a running joke in jiu-jitsu circles.
So instead of focusing on the next belt, it's better Focus on Skills and learn the fundamentals.. almost no-one else is!

Being a Great Teacher
is Not about
choosing The Best techniques
The reason why BJJ is superior other martial arts is because we never decide which technique is ‘The Best‘, but we let the sport evolve organically, so techniques are replaced continuously by better ones.
Thsi is why we created a standard teaching methodology that works with every technique, no matter what level your BJJ is.

We love takedowns!
That’s why we don’t teach takedowns without proper breakfall training—it’s not safe irresponsible. Too many white belts quit BJJ because of takedown injuries.
We are working with some of the best Judo coaches in europe to develop a takedown curriculum that is fun, safe and easy to learn. (and that makes all your opponents pull guard as soon as they see you!)
A dedicated takedown curriculum guarantees beginners learn to fall safely, throw safely, and stay healthy and happy.
