You learned how to fight. No one taught you how to run a kids class.

Just starting

You want to see a kids class run from start to finish, with clear criteria at every step.

Years on the mat

Your kids class isn't progressing the way it should and you want an 8th degree's criteria.

Run an academy

You want a class standard your instructors can repeat and that keeps kids enrolled.

From the first minute to the last

Six stages. Each one prepares the next.

  1. 00:00
    Warm-up

    The warm-up that is already fighting: base, laterality and the first takedown defense.

  2. 04:13
    Standing

    Defend first, then attack: double-leg defense and counter.

  3. 11:22
    Ground

    Knee, hip and shoulder: turtle turnover and control to the americana.

  4. 24:50
    Specific

    Purposeful repetition until technique becomes reflex, safely.

  5. 28:00
    Free rolling

    How to pair kids and when to stop the class to regain focus.

  6. 36:07
    Application

    The live mistake and the close: standing, guard, side, mount and back.
