Class Format
Our Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals classes in San Jose are structured to support both beginners and experienced practitioners refining their base skills.
Each class begins with conditioning and solo movement drills designed to improve coordination, balance, and mat awareness. After warming up, instructors review key concepts before introducing the technical focus of the day.
Students then drill the technique in controlled repetitions, followed by low-resistance situational sparring from the featured position to build confidence and application. Classes conclude with live Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sparring rounds to reinforce timing, control, and decision-making under pressure.
Curriculum
Our Adult Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals curriculum develops the core skills required for effective grappling. Students learn essential takedowns, positional control, pins, submissions, escapes, guard sweeps, and guard passing, along with the strategic principles that connect these techniques together.
The program is designed to build a complete technical foundation that prepares students for live training and long-term progression in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

“I started training at the age of 38. Now, at 43 years of age, I am still here, injury free, and better off in almost everything that I do these days. Matt Darcy and his staff can help you achieve your goals on your terms.”

“With a little over a month training at Guerrilla I am hooked. Matt Darcy is very patient with beginners and offers alternative ways of doing drills if you have injuries. I don’t see anyone with egos trying to prove something. Everyone is very measured.”

“It is a rare sight at other gyms when you see upper belts jump in and immediately orient and help new students, but this is not the case at Guerrilla San Jose. Coach Matt and the coaches are world class instructors and keep jiu-jitsu fun and fresh for all levels.”
