We bring a fully managed BJJ program to your facility — curriculum, instructors, mats, and uniforms included. No internal martial arts expertise required. Programs are designed to be inclusive, adaptive, and welcoming to participants of all backgrounds, identities, and ability levels.
Yearly Rotating Curriculum
A structured, 12-month rotating curriculum where content cycles annually — meaning anyone can join at any point and integrate seamlessly. No prerequisite sessions needed. The format that generates the strongest long-term adherence and community cohesion.
Intro to BJJ — 12-Class Module
A self-contained introductory module covering BJJ fundamentals across 12 structured classes. Completable at three different paces — ideal for organizations wanting to test the program before committing to an ongoing format.
Summer BJJ Program
An intensive summer format for schools, camps, and youth organizations. Covers foundational BJJ skills across a condensed timeline — engaging, structured, and designed to leave participants with real skills and a reason to keep training.
Chess Jiu-Jitsu
A uniquely paced BJJ program for older adults, seniors, and people who benefit from an extra slow, deliberate approach — including trauma survivors and those with anxiety or sensory sensitivities around physical contact. Like chess, every movement is intentional. There is no rushing.
Gamified BJJ for Kids & Youth
A game-based BJJ curriculum for children and youth — making martial arts fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate. Technical skills are embedded in games, challenges, and structured play. Builds coordination, body awareness, social skills, confidence, and discipline.
Women-Only BJJ
A dedicated women-only BJJ program led by Raveena Longia (she/they) — creating a space where women, non-binary, and gender-diverse participants can train without the social dynamics of a mixed-gender environment. Technically rigorous, fully inclusive.
Corporate Workshops & Demo Events
One-day or short-series BJJ workshops for corporate wellness, team building, and staff development — plus exhibition matches and demo events for conferences and community showcases. We bring everything: mats, uniforms, instructors, and a structured experience.
Training mats
Provided and set up at your facility for an additional fee. We handle setup, takedown, and sanitation.
Loaner uniforms
Available for trial participants and first-time sessions at a rental fee. Ideal for intro modules and demo events.
Student gi purchases
Committed students can purchase gis through Gentle Way at preferential rates — below retail.
