Your first classes don’t have to feel like guesswork.

There’s a lot to take in when you start Jiu Jitsu. New positions. Unfamiliar movements. Training partners with more experience.

White Belt SOGs (Standard Operating Guidelines) is being developed to help adult beginners understand what matters and take a clear next step.

Learn what to focus on

Recognize the main positions and choose a useful goal instead of trying to remember every technique.

Approach training thoughtfully

Learn how to communicate with partners, set boundaries, tap early, and adjust the intensity of practice.

Give your training direction

Follow a flexible 90-day roadmap with practice tasks, checklists, and simple ways to review your progress.

Practical guidance while you wait

The newsletter will share beginner-friendly explanations, ideas to try in class, and questions to take to your instructor.

You’ll also receive updates as White Belt SOGs develops and an email with access when it’s ready. The course is still in development and isn’t available to download yet.
