Foundations BJJ Series
8 Week Beginner Program at The MATS BJJ ACADEMY
You don’t have to be ready. You just have to start.
If you've been curious about trying Jiu-Jitsu but felt unsure, nervous, or out of place walking into a regular class — you’re not alone. That’s exactly why we built Foundations.
Foundations is an 8-week, beginner-focused training experience that helps you build confidence, skill, and awareness from day one.
This is not a crash course. It’s a clean, structured pathway into a lifelong practice.
WHAT TO EXPECT
You’ll learn the core positions, movements, and strategies of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, including:
- How to escape from bad positions and stay safe
- How to pass guard and maintain control
- How to defend yourself without strength or aggression
- How to move with purpose and confidence
- How to train for life — not just for highlights
Whether you’re here for fitness, self-defense, focus, or personal growth, this course is your first step into a practice that can truly change your life.
WHO IT’S FOR
- Absolute beginners
- People returning after time off
- Parents of kids who already train
- Adults looking for confidence and community
- Athletes from other sports who want new challenges
- Anyone who’s been “thinking about it” for months
No experience necessary. No pressure to perform. Just a clean slate and a path forward.
