Reviews
it explained the logic of ground fighting and how to use your strength efficiently very clearly it teaches you that you need to use technique rather than brute force the practical info is very useful
This course provided a really great introduction to the core principles of Jiu Jitsu, emphasizing respect for self and others which I appreciated. I do wish there had been a bit more on the environmental connection mentioned in the description.
