Newmarket Brazilian Jiu-jitsu

White belts basics

Starting with the basics

In this class, you’ll learn the essential Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu moves and positions in a beginner-friendly environment, perfect for white belts starting their journey. Our focus is on building a strong foundation that prepares you for more advanced techniques while ensuring you feel confident and comfortable on the mats. Each session introduces core concepts such as guard, mount, side control, and back control, as well as basic sweeps, escapes, and submissions. The techniques are broken down into clear, easy-to-follow steps, allowing you to learn at your own pace and ask questions along the way.

We place a strong emphasis on proper body mechanics, balance, and positioning so you can apply techniques effectively without relying on strength. Drilling is structured and repetitive, helping movements become second nature over time. You’ll also practice situational training, applying skills in controlled, realistic scenarios that reinforce problem-solving and decision-making. For those ready to try it, light rolling is introduced in a safe and supervised way, giving you the opportunity to experience live application at a comfortable intensity.

Beyond the physical skills, this class helps you develop mental discipline, focus, and patience—qualities that are as important in BJJ as the techniques themselves. The environment is welcoming and supportive, with instructors and training partners dedicated to helping you improve, regardless of your starting point. Whether your goal is self-defense, fitness, competition, or simply learning something new, our White Belt Basics program offers the perfect gateway into the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. By attending consistently, you’ll not only gain the technical skills you need to progress through the belt ranks but also build the confidence, resilience, and camaraderie that make BJJ such a rewarding and lifelong practice.
