Course Details

Fundementals, basics and concepts create the backbone for anyone hoping to progress in their Jiu jitsu journey. Known for his systematic approach, World Champion Coach Ali Monfaradi has laid out a step-by-step program (spread out through 13 chapters) that acts as a checklist for everything a practitioner needs to know before receiving their blue belt, and proceeding to more advanced positions. While ideal for beginners or those earlier on in their journey, this course offers a clear framework everybody can refer to, even if they more advanced students.
