Jiu Jitsu Basics Class

10 Week Jiu Jitsu Course for Beginners

Shimeru's Basics Class is designed to bring beginners to competency in jiu jitsu's most common positions in just 10 weeks. The course repeats on continuous cycle, which allows for new students join at any time and learn the full curriculum in 10 weeks, and gain depth of understanding by repeating it as needed. 

Learning a martial art can be intimidating. 

Shimeru's Jiu Jitsu Basics Class focuses on teaching in a fun, low-stress environment alongside other new students. The curriculum emphasizes the principles, goals and strategies from each position, teaching the techniques with a foundational understanding of not just how, but why they are effective. 

The class meets Wednesdays from 7:30pm to 8:30pm, and Fridays from 6pm to 7:15pm, though students are welcome to join any of the classes in Shimeru's full schedule. 

New Course Added! 

Given the popularity of the basics class, we've added a companion course, also 10 weeks, that focuses on 10 different guards—the offensive position by which one player will attack their opponent. This course meets Mondays and Fridays at 4pm, and is available to all Shimeru members and trial week participants!
