THE EXPERIENCE

Go deeper.
Move differently.

Time to ask the question. Feel the adjustment. Understand why it works.

Eight sessions across four days give you room to work closely with John. Gi Jiu-Jitsu and Ginástica Natural sit side by side: technique on the mat, movement beyond it.

All belts welcome. Come with curiosity and a willingness to learn.
