Every coach is certified by Gracie Barra and trained to provide advanced-level instruction in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. They are not only accomplished practitioners but also dedicated mentors who are passionate about helping students reach their full potential.

2. A Structured, Progressive Curriculum

Our Advanced Jiu-Jitsu programme at Gracie Barra Broadbeach follows a structured and systematic approach that builds on the fundamental techniques learned in our beginner and intermediate programmes. The curriculum is designed to help students master advanced techniques, transitions, and submissions, while also enhancing their understanding of positional control and strategy.

Key areas of focus include:

• Advanced Guard Techniques: Learn how to effectively use guards such as spider guard, De La Riva, and X-guard in competitive scenarios.
• Submissions and Counters: Master a range of advanced submissions, including triangle chokes, omoplatas, and leg locks, as well as counters to common attacks.
• Sweeps and Transitions: Learn how to create momentum through sweeps and transitions to dominate your opponent from any position.
• Positional Strategy: Develop a deeper understanding of positional hierarchy, control, and how to maintain or recover dominant positions in live sparring.

The programme also covers specific tactics for competitive BJJ, giving students the edge needed for success in both gi and no-gi competitions.

3. Live Sparring and Positional Drills

A key component of our Advanced Jiu-Jitsu programme is live sparring, or “rolling,” which allows students to apply their techniques in a controlled but realistic environment. Live sparring is an essential part of BJJ training at the advanced level, providing students with the opportunity to test their skills under pressure, improve their timing, and develop their ability to adapt to different opponents.

In addition to live sparring, we incorporate positional drills that focus on specific areas of BJJ, such as escaping bad positions, attacking from dominant positions, and transitioning between techniques. These drills are critical for honing the reflexes and decision-making skills that are essential in both training and competition.

4. Competition Training and Support

For students interested in competing, Gracie Barra Broadbeach offers specialised competition training that prepares athletes for tournaments at the local, national, and international levels. Our instructors have extensive competition experience and are well-versed in the rules, strategies, and mindset required for success in competitive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Our competition training includes:

• Scenario-Based Sparring: Engage in sparring sessions that replicate the intensity and pressure of competition, helping you to develop the mental and physical endurance needed for high-level tournaments.
• Strategy Development: Learn how to develop match-winning strategies based on your strengths and your opponent’s weaknesses.
• Tactical Preparation: Understand the nuances of scoring, point systems, and penalties in BJJ competitions to maximise your chances of victory.

At Gracie Barra Broadbeach, we are committed to supporting our students in their competition goals. We regularly participate in local and national tournaments, and our instructors are always available to provide guidance and mentorship throughout your competitive journey.

5. Mental and Physical Conditioning

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is as much a mental game as it is a physical one, and our Advanced Jiu-Jitsu programme places a strong emphasis on developing both aspects. At the advanced level, BJJ practitioners must be able to think strategically, anticipate their opponents’ moves, and stay calm under pressure.

Our programme includes mental conditioning exercises designed to improve focus, resilience, and decision-making. These skills are crucial for maintaining composure during high-pressure situations in both training and competition.

In addition to mental conditioning, our classes also incorporate strength and conditioning exercises to ensure that students are physically prepared for the demands of advanced training. We focus on building functional strength, flexibility, and endurance through bodyweight exercises and mobility drills.

The Benefits of Advanced Jiu-Jitsu Training

By enrolling in the Advanced Jiu-Jitsu programme at Gracie Barra Broadbeach, students can expect to experience a wide range of benefits that go beyond physical fitness. Training at this level provides both mental and physical growth, equipping students with the tools needed to excel in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and beyond.

• Enhanced Technical Proficiency: Advanced training focuses on refining and mastering complex techniques, ensuring that students develop a higher level of technical proficiency.
• Improved Problem-Solving Skills: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is often referred to as “human chess” due to the mental strategies involved. Advanced students develop problem-solving skills as they learn to anticipate and counter their opponents’ moves.
• Increased Confidence: As students progress through advanced training, they gain confidence in their abilities both on and off the mat. This self-assurance extends into everyday life, helping individuals tackle challenges with determination and composure.
• Stress Relief and Mental Focus: Training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers an excellent way to relieve stress and clear the mind. The focus and discipline required for advanced techniques also improve mental clarity and concentration.
