This is a high-level Gi session built for athletes who want technical depth, competitive sharpness, and exposure to multiple advanced perspectives in one room.

With Maria and Rogerio teaching together, this class blends two complementary styles — technical precision and pressure-based control — creating a dynamic, layered training environment.

You can expect:

  • Advanced guard retention and attacking systems

  • Modern passing sequences with detailed counters

  • Back takes, transitions, and submission chains

  • Situational sparring from competition-relevant positions

  • Strategy discussions around timing, grips, and match awareness

The pace will be high. The expectations will be clear. The details will matter.

This is not a review class — it’s a development room for athletes ready to train with intention and intensity.

Open to adult white belts with two stripes or more (or by invitation). Upper belts set the standard in focus, effort, and leadership.

If Monday is about sharpening pressure and structure, Tuesday is about blending styles, expanding systems, and learning to adapt at a higher level.

Come ready to work.
