This week on GB Blog we are talking about Fundamentals of Jiu-jitsu  as taught by one of the top Gracie Barra black belt instructors – Prof. Bruno Fernandes of GB Montreal

ã…¤

“A while back I did this short 10-class online course covering the most important things you know on a few selected positions.

ã…¤

The idea was to give the beginners the very first concepts that he should pay attention to; and develop a good framework to which he could add more techniques later.

ã…¤

Also, by keeping it simple, the student can adapt faster to the situation as they change. Like a computer, too many things going on at the same time will slow you down.

ã…¤

Now that we are all safe at home with some time to spare, I’m sure it’ll come handy to have this series for you to study. Like a good series, feel free to binge watch; but come back to it after whenever needed. There is a lot of information condensed into those short videos.

Enjoy!”
