Advanced Jiu-Jitsu

The advanced curriculum features the continuous, individualized development that is at the heart of the open mat philosophy. Building on the basics, the training is organized, but the curriculum is fluid, changing from month to month, year to year. The emphasis is placed on discovery, exploration, innovation, and individual development. The advanced curriculum is thus meant to be a framework within which grapplers organize their own personal curriculum. The coach creates, and maintains, a dynamic learning environment where he acts more as a resources than as a programmer, allowing grapplers to follow their own natural learning style.

Finally, though no less significantly, as the basic curriculum includes learning how to learn, so too the advanced curriculum includes teaching how to teach.
