The structure of the GB1 curriculum!

The GB1 program operates on a sixteen-week cycle that covers the essential positions and techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This repetitive structure allows students to encounter every major aspect of the martial art multiple times, facilitating the retention of complex motor skills. Each class is divided into specific segments, including a functional warm-up, technical instruction, and supervised drilling.

Positional identification: Students learn to identify and maintain the primary positions such as the Guard, Side Control, Mount, and Back Control.

Escapes and reversals: A significant portion of the curriculum is dedicated to methods for exiting disadvantageous positions and transitioning into offensive postures.

Submission mechanics: The program introduces the mechanical principles behind joint locks and strangulations, emphasizing the precise application of pressure.

Technical objectives for adult practitioners!

The primary objective of the GB1 Fundamentals at Gracie Barra Rio Rancho is to build a high level of technical proficiency without relying on explosive physical attributes. The instruction focuses on the use of leverage, the management of distance, and the efficient use of one’s body weight. By adhering to these principles, practitioners learn to control an opponent and neutralize threats through systematic movement.

Safety and progression standards!

Safety is a central component of the GB1 program. The curriculum includes specific training on how to fall correctly and how to apply techniques with control to prevent injury to training partners. At Gracie Barra Rio Rancho, the transition from the GB1 program to more advanced classes is based on the completion of the sixteen-week cycle and the instructor’s assessment of the student’s technical comprehension and adherence to academy protocols.
