Jiu-jitsu
All levels, after Fundamentals
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Joaquim teaches jiu-jitsu the way he learned it in Belo Horizonte: one position at a time, drilled until it is yours. Every class has a warm-up, two or three techniques, positional drilling and five-minute rounds at the end. You choose how hard to roll, and you can sit out any round.
