CMJJ ORIENTATION
This is an introduction to the Carlos Machado Jiu-Jitsu (CMJJ) program. This is for first-timers coming to the school looking to sample the program. If you are thinking about whether or not these programs are for you, it is essential that you sign-up for the orientation so that you can see the potential of what these classes can do for you and how the techniques you learn could even save your life! After you participate in the informative and fun orientation you'll get access to our other CMJJ Basics and No Gi Grappling classes.

CMJJ BASICS
Our Blue Belt requirements are comprehensively taught in this class. This class is comprehensively designed to ensure that our students learn all of the required material to pass our CMJJ Blue Belt test. This class is mandatory for all White Belt students and is highly recommended for students of all levels to stay sharp on our core requirements. You will learn all aspects of Machado Jiu-Jitsu from top to bottom.

CMJJ ADVANCED
Students who have taken at least 16 of our CMJJ Basics classes and successfully completed the promotion requirements for White Belt with Two Stripes are eligible to participate in these classes. In this class, students will be given a chance to learn more advanced techniques and will also be able to train live (spar) with their teammates. These training sessions are more intense than the CMJJ Basics classes and are a great opportunity to test yourself both physically and mentally.

CMJJ BLUE BELT & ABOVE
This class is available to all BJJ Blue Belts and above. In this class students are shown more advanced flowing drills, throwing combinations and submissions. White Belt students who are Elite Members may attend this class with Black Belt Instructor approval.

NO-GI GRAPPLING
This class focuses on grappling without the use of the Gi. It is highly recommended that students interested in No Gi Grappling training still attend the CMJJ Basics classes to develop a solid base in Machado Jiu-Jitsu.

MACHADO JAGUARS
This class provides children ages 4-12 with the opportunity to develop discipline, self-confidence, respect, integrity, teamwork and responsibility that are the core principles for personal success. The practice of Machado Jiu-Jitsu is a means to individual development and in our program, the children acquire the skills to defend themselves against bullies as well as perfect the techniques that will serve as the foundation for their continued growth in Machado Jiu-Jitsu. The most important effect this has is that it teaches them that disciplined and dedicated effort ALWAYS brings positive results.
