DDMA offers a 2 day a week BJJ fundamentals beginners class with an emphasis on self defense. If you are new to martial arts or come from a striking background and want to cross train, this class is designed for you. We do half the year in Gi, half No Gi. We teach leg locks (including heel hooks) at all levels.
​
Because of the small class size, you get a lot of one on one instruction every class. Often new students get stuck in bad positions during live rolls and don't know what to do. Our instructor is ready to come over and walk you through the escape so next time you have the solution. Surprisingly, this is not a common practice.​​​

The Experience
Instructor: Coach Greg
Instructor: Coach Mario
BJJ gives a unique feeling of being both very chill, and a lot of hard work. This is because of the goal to become fluid in your technique and be in the moment. You'll start each class with a flow roll, which is non resistance wrestling movement to teach body movement on the ground. Next, you'll work some basic techniques, sequences, and concepts. You'll add in some situational resistance drills to reinforce the technique, then do a bit of live resistance rolling (sort of like submission wrestling) for the last 15 minutes of class.
