This program is for you if…

You don't need to be a grappling expert.

You're already a coach. MMA changed the way people see martial arts, and your students want to know what happens when the fight goes to the ground.

  • Taekwondo
  • Self-defense
  • BJJ
  • Other combat sports

You don't need more random techniques. You need a clear path.

  • What should I teach first?
  • What should I teach next?
  • How do I connect the techniques?
  • How do I make my students understand them?
  • How do we make them work in sparring?

The Technical Programming gives you that structure. Week after week.

Every week

Every week, you get a complete technical program.
