BJJ Curriculum For Beginners

Beginner’s BJJ Curriculum Sample Drill: RDLR Side To Side

There are numerous benefits to using drills to develop technique. Drills make it easier for you to learn and remember a technique, they’re a great way to warm the body up, and can give you a great sport specific workout.

For these reasons, we included a number of drills in each part of the Beginner’s BJJ Curriculum, with each drill reinforcing a technique or concept.

This is a sample drill taken from the Beginner’s Curriculum and covers drill which helps improve guard retention and passing posture. This drill is used in several places in the syllabus which helps build familiarity with the technique. Check our the Reverse De La Riva Side To Side Drill below:

The Beginner’s BJJ Curriculum will be available from 29th June 2019. For more information visit:

Beginner’s BJJ Curriculum Sample: Over/Under Butterfly Sweep

This is a sample technique taken from Beginner’s BJJ Curriculum covering a simple butterfly guard sweep.

Deciding to put butterfly guard into the curriculum at all was the subject of some discussion between us (AKA argument), but ultimately, we decided that learning to use butterfly hooks was a really important skill for our students, even if butterfly guard itself isn’t commonly used in gi BJJ.

In the video below, we also discuss the common mistakes we see people making when we’re teaching this particular technique. Beginners are always coming up with new and creative ways to perform techniques, so don’t be surprised if you see some of these mistakes and some completely new ones as well.

One trap that instructors often fall into is trying to teach too many techniques in too short a time— it might take us all class just to teach this technique! You can break down the technique into different drills and introduce variations (like we do around 3:45 in the video) to really make sure that the mechanics of the technique are solid.

Beginner’s BJJ Curriculum Sample Concept: Passing Posture

Explaining the underlying concepts behind a technique or position can be incredibly beneficial in helping people understand what they’re trying to achieve and how the same idea can be applied in different situations.

To help instructors and students learn faster, we added a section at the start of each week of the Beginner’s BJJ Curriculum explaining the main concepts we’re trying to develop. The video below is a sample of one of the positional concept sections in the BJJ Beginner’s Curriculum.
