Beginner Program

Eligibility: White Belts

The Beginner Program is the perfect entry point for new students or those returning after a break. We remove the intimidation of starting a martial art by providing a clear, structured, and safe path forward.

Build a Strong Foundation - Learn the essential movements and self-defence principles of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Our progressive curriculum ensures you never feel lost, building your technical skill and physical confidence one step at a time.

Safety First - With no sparring in this program, you can focus entirely on learning the mechanics of Jiu Jitsu in a supportive environment before ever facing live resistance.

*Students typically progress to the Intermediate Program after earning their first stripe.

Intermediate Program

Eligibility: All Levels (White Belts 1 Stripe & Above)

The Intermediate Program is where you turn technical knowledge into real-world skill. Designed for everyone from one-stripe white belts to black belts, this is the core of your Jiu Jitsu journey.

Controlled Sparring - Stop wondering if your technique works. We introduce positional and specific sparring in a safe, structured environment so you can refine your timing and decision-making under realistic pressure.

Master the Essentials - Focus on high-percentage concepts that work at every level. This is where you build the confidence and control needed for long-term success on the mats.

Sparring Class

Eligibility: All Levels (White Belts 2 Stripes & Above)

An optional session dedicated to extra live rolling for students with sufficient experience.

A Professional Training Culture - We prioritise a safe, high-level training atmosphere. By requiring prior experience, we ensure every partner understands positional awareness and intensity management, allowing everyone to improve without unnecessary risk.

Advanced Program

Eligibility: Blue Belts & Above

The Advanced program leverages your existing knowledge to explore the art at a much deeper level.

Elevate Your Skills - With a strong foundation already in place, our coaching shifts toward technical precision, efficiency, and the finer details. This is where you refine your game, troubleshoot your specific problems, and achieve a higher level of mastery. Sessions move at a faster pace and assume a strong understanding of fundamentals.

Classes include live sparring and are designed for experienced practitioners seeking higher-level technical and physical training.

Open Mat

Eligibility: All levels (White Belts 1 Stripe & Above)

Your Time, Your Training - Open Mat is a supervised session designed for you to take ownership of your development. Whether you want to drill a specific move, get extra rounds in, or simply troubleshoot techniques with teammates, the mat is yours.

A Community-Driven Environment - Available to everyone who has completed the Beginner Program, Open Mat offers a relaxed, self-directed atmosphere. It’s the perfect time to experiment with your game and build stronger bonds with the Shibusa community.
