The Masters JIu Jitsu Program, for anyone who is not aware is intended for our more mature students starting out in Jiu Jitsu or Students with potential injury concerns.
It has come to my attention recently that more students should be following the Masters Jiu Jitsu Program. It had been created to help you respect and preserve your body.
Some minor niggling and unnecessary injuries are creeping in and these can be avoided.
There is no secret to the fact that our bodies take longer to heal as we grow older and getting injuries in training is totally counter productive to achieving your goals. Most students attend classes to learn Self Defense, improve fitness, improve mental health and so on. When you receive an injury (which could have been avoided) it simply sets you back. If you continue to take 1 step forwards and 2 backwards, your progress can be set back quite some way.
The levels have the exact same value as the regular Jiu Jitsu Program. The Program is very slightly modified to help you respect your body. There is absolutely no need for you to be thrown around.
You will notice that the Grading, tests you in performing Techniques and not on the way you are thrown. There is still a great need to practice the Breakfall drills and rolls.
I should not have to enforce this in class, it is up to you to make that wise decision to step aside when necessary.
Lets concentrate on learning the Jiu Jitsu Techniques, getting our body and mind fitter and stronger and let the younger students worry about the breakfalls and being thrown around.
If you would like to take a closer look at this Curriculum, there are several manuals available. Just let me know.
New students need to exercise caution too, there is no rush for you to be thrown either, there is a learning curve that you need to go through and plenty of time to do it.
