While the Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu system is considered one of the most technical, aggressive and effective styles of Jiu-Jitsu out there today, new students may be surprised to find a friendly, supportive atmosphere in their classes at Evolution Training. Looking to avoid the typical ‘sink-or-swim’ attitude found at many BJJ academies, head instructor Ernest “Waffle” Ellender, PhD introduces new students to the art with one-on-one instruction in the fundamentals of the Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu system. New students are strategically taught the ground-level curriculum on day one and paired up with advanced students who assist in instructing and getting the new students up to speed. In other words, new students are seen as future ‘training partners’ instead of new ‘punching bags’ for the day!
The instructors at Evolution Training maintain a training environment aimed at maximizing students’ learning and minimizing training injuries, all in fun, challenging classes. This is accomplished by utilizing such training techniques as 50/50 drilling and flow training that enable the student to use new techniques with willing partners instead of trying to immediately apply a new technique with 100% resistance!
BENEFITS
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a rare mix of both aerobic and anaerobic activity…you will see your body change! Muscles will develop and you will become leaner as you progress and train. Additionally, you will see increases in: flexibility, balance, body awareness, cardiovascular endurance, muscle control, hand-eye coordination, functional strength, situational awareness, strategic thinking and much more.
Along with the physical changes you will experience there are many other significant benefits that will carry over into all aspects of your life. As you progress through your training, your technical understanding becomes more effective and you realize you have more control than ever before. The increase in your confidence level not only better prepares you to defend yourself in self-defense situations, but there is also empowerment in the knowledge that you have accomplished something exceptional by learning and applying something special (the art of Jiu Jitsu). This newfound confidence carries over into other aspects of your life like work, home, school and relationships.
