How is competition training different?

Our standard classes establish the technical foundation, while our competition program focuses on high-level performance and tactical execution. We focus on:

• Elite Standards: Higher repetition and tighter technical execution.
• Match Intensity: Training at the pace and conditioning level required to be competitive.
• Situational Strategy: Specific drills based on common tournament scenarios, as well as specific No-Gi and Gi strategies.
• Tactical Intelligence: Scoring awareness, clock management, and smart decision-making.
• Ruleset Expertise: Specific strategies for IBJJF, ADCC, and local tournament formats. Rules may also vary for No-Gi and Gi matches.

Who is it for?

• Kids who are training consistently in regular classes and want an additional challenge.
• Students preparing for tournaments from local Atlanta to the international level.
• Families in the Decatur area, as well as the surrounding neighborhoods, who are looking for a positive, competitive outlet.

What is taught in a competition BJJ class?

Our kids’ BJJ competition team training goes beyond the “how-to” of a technique and focuses on the “why” and “when.” Here is what you can expect from our advanced youth curriculum:

1. Point Strategy & Tournament Rules

Competitive BJJ is a tactical game. We ensure students understand how to win under various rulesets:

• Scoring Mastery: Securing points for takedowns, sweeps, and guard passes.

• Clock Management: Learning when to hunt for the submission and when to hold a dominant position to protect a lead.

2. The Stand-Up Game: Takedowns & Transitions

Every match starts standing. We prioritize a strong transition to the ground:

• Wrestling & Judo: Mastering high-percentage moves like double-legs and hip tosses.

• Guard Pulling: Techniques to safely initiate offense from the bottom.

• Grip Fighting: Winning the “hand-to-hand” battle to dictate the pace.

3. High-Intensity “Shark Tank” Sparring

We simulate the tournament environment to build unmatched conditioning:

• Situational Rounds: Starting in difficult positions to build “escapability” under pressure.

• Shark Tanks: Rotating sparring drills that develop elite endurance and mental grit.

• Refereed Scrimmages: Practice matches with crowd noise simulation to prepare for the chaos of a real tournament.

4. Mental Performance & Sportsmanship

We help young athletes develop a winning mindset:

• Anxiety Management: Breathing techniques to overcome “tournament jitters.”

• Resilience: Emphasizing respect for opponents and officials, regardless of the outcome.
