2. Structured and Progressive Curriculum for Advanced Training

Gracie Barra Broadbeach follows a structured and progressive curriculum that ensures advanced students continue to develop their skills in a systematic way. Our curriculum is designed to build on the foundations of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that students have already mastered, introducing more complex techniques, transitions, and strategies that are essential for success at higher levels.

Key areas of focus in our Advanced Martial Arts programme include:

• Advanced Guard Techniques: Learn how to effectively use guards such as De La Riva, spider guard, and X-guard in both offensive and defensive scenarios.
• Takedowns and Throws: Develop your stand-up game with techniques drawn from judo and wrestling, ensuring you can bring opponents to the ground effectively and safely.
• Positional Strategy and Control: Gain a deeper understanding of positional hierarchy and how to maintain or recover dominant positions during live sparring or competition.
• Advanced Submissions and Transitions: Master advanced submission techniques such as leg locks, triangle chokes, and omoplatas, while also learning how to transition smoothly between positions and techniques.
• Live Sparring and Rolling: Engage in more intensive sparring sessions that replicate real-world competition scenarios, helping you apply techniques under pressure, improve timing, and sharpen your strategy.

By following this structured curriculum, advanced students at Gracie Barra Broadbeach continue to progress through the ranks with confidence, knowing that they are consistently building their skills in a logical, methodical way.

3. Competition-Focused Training

For those interested in testing their skills in competition, our Advanced Martial Arts programme includes comprehensive competition-focused training. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition requires not only technical proficiency but also a keen understanding of strategy, timing, and mental preparation. Our instructors have extensive experience in competitive BJJ and provide detailed instruction on how to succeed in a tournament environment.

In our competition-focused classes, you’ll learn:

• Tactical Strategy: Develop and execute game plans based on your strengths, while learning how to adapt your approach based on your opponent’s style and weaknesses.
• Point Management: Understand the scoring system in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitions and learn how to control a match by earning points and maintaining a dominant position.
• Scenario-Based Sparring: Engage in sparring drills that mimic specific competition situations, such as time-limited rounds, points deficits, or overtime scenarios.
• Mental Toughness and Preparation: Learn how to manage the mental pressures of competition, stay calm under pressure, and maintain focus in high-stress environments.

Our competition training not only prepares students for local and international tournaments but also helps them develop the mindset, discipline, and strategic thinking necessary for success at the highest levels of the sport.

4. Physical and Mental Conditioning for Martial Artists

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the advanced level is physically demanding, requiring strength, endurance, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness. At Gracie Barra Broadbeach, we place a strong emphasis on physical conditioning, ensuring that students are in peak condition to handle the rigours of advanced training and competition.

In addition to the technical aspects of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, our Advanced Martial Arts programme includes conditioning exercises that focus on:

• Strength and Power: Build functional strength through bodyweight exercises, resistance training, and grappling drills that enhance your ability to control and dominate your opponent.
• Endurance and Stamina: Develop the cardiovascular endurance needed to perform at a high level throughout long rounds of sparring or competition matches.
• Flexibility and Mobility: Improve your flexibility and joint mobility through targeted stretching exercises, which help reduce the risk of injury and increase your range of motion during grappling.

Equally important is the mental aspect of training. Advanced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu requires sharp focus, quick decision-making, and mental resilience. Our programme teaches students how to remain calm under pressure, think strategically, and solve problems in real time, both on and off the mat.

5. A Supportive and Inclusive Community

At Gracie Barra Broadbeach, we pride ourselves on creating a positive and inclusive environment where students feel supported, encouraged, and motivated to succeed. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not just a martial art—it’s a community, and our academy reflects the values of respect, teamwork, and mutual growth.

In our Advanced Martial Arts classes, students train alongside peers who share a common passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a desire to improve. Whether you’re preparing for your next belt promotion, getting ready for competition, or simply looking to push your limits, you’ll find a network of like-minded individuals who are there to support you every step of the way.

Our instructors foster a culture of mutual respect, ensuring that advanced students not only improve their technical skills but also develop important qualities such as humility, perseverance, and leadership.

6. Flexible Training Schedule to Fit Your Lifestyle

We understand that advanced students often have busy schedules, balancing work, family, and other commitments. That’s why Gracie Barra Broadbeach offers a flexible class schedule, with morning, evening, and weekend options available. Whether you prefer to train before work or after a long day, our variety of class times ensures that you can fit martial arts training into your lifestyle.
