Training Info
We alternate between gi and no-gi (grappling) training sessions. One week is with gi, and the following week is no-gi, always alternating. The training is divided into three phases. First, we start by warming up for about 15 minutes with basic BJJ mobility movements. Then we move on to technical training, which lasts approximately 45 minutes. This training is usually thematic. For example, we might focus on the transition from different positions to "half guard". Finally, we dedicate about 30 minutes to sparring.
Sparring
We are sparring in 6-minute rounds, where we try to submit our opponent as many times as possible. We also do more intense 3-minute sparring sessions where the goal is not to submit, but to flow, performing many transitions. The rules follow the IBJJF regulations, so techniques like heel hooks or knee locks are restricted unless they are being specifically trained.
Belt System
The belt system in BJJ consists of 5 colored belts: White, Blue, Purple, Brown, and Black. Within each belt, you can earn up to 4 stripes, which serve as a distinction among others of the same belt to show experience or rank. Belts are awarded by the instructor, making it a subjective system not based on written rules, but rather on the analysis of each individual's progress.
