Adults Program

Jiu Jitsu for Every Level

Our Adults Program provides a clear pathway for complete beginners through to experienced practitioners, with structured training designed to develop skill, confidence and a deeper understanding of Jiu Jitsu.

Classes combine technical instruction, purposeful drilling and live training, with a strong emphasis on fundamentals, strategy and practical application. New students build a solid foundation while experienced practitioners are challenged to refine their technique and expand their game.

Training at Five Rings is about more than learning techniques. It develops confidence, resilience, problem-solving and physical capability, supported by a team committed to continuous improvement.

Train for self-defence, fitness, competition, personal development, or the long-term pursuit of mastery.

Adults Fundamentals

Start Strong. Build Smart.

The Adults Fundamentals Program is designed to give you a strong, practical foundation in Jiu Jitsu. No previous experience or specific level of fitness is required. Training is structured, progressive and focused on developing the skills and understanding needed to train with confidence.

Our program gives students a clear and structured pathway for development. Rather than learning disconnected techniques from class to class, each student works through essential positions, concepts and skills designed to build upon one another as they progress.

Students learn the core positions, movements, escapes, controls and submissions of Jiu Jitsu while developing an understanding of leverage, timing, posture, base and efficient movement. This foundation prepares students to confidently transition into our Advanced Program.

Fundamentals training also includes combative Jiu Jitsu and practical self-defence, connecting modern training methods with the traditional principles of the art.

In this program, you’ll develop:

  • Core positions including mount, guard, side control and back control

  • Escapes, sweeps, controls and submissions

  • Effective grips, frames, posture and base

  • Timing, leverage and efficient movement

  • Practical self-defence and foundational combatives

  • Safe training habits, mat awareness and etiquette

  • A structured understanding of Jiu Jitsu through our progressive curriculum

Structured curriculum. Strong fundamentals. Continuous progression.

Fundamentals Classes — Daily at 6:30pm

Adults Advanced

For the Committed Practitioner

The Advanced Program is where technical knowledge develops into a deeper understanding of the art. Designed for three stripe white belts and above, these classes challenge students to refine their individual game, explore advanced concepts and apply their skills against experienced, fully resisting training partners.

Training combines modern and traditional Jiu Jitsu, covering advanced positional systems, submissions, leg entanglements, takedowns, transitions, counters and competition strategy. The focus extends beyond simply learning more techniques—we develop the timing, decision-making, strategy and understanding behind them.

Mastery has a different meaning for every student. For some, it means competing at the highest level possible. For others, it is the long-term pursuit of technical improvement, progressing through the ranks and continuing to develop their Jiu Jitsu for years to come. Both paths belong on the same mats.

What to expect:

  • In-depth technical and conceptual study

  • Advanced submissions, transitions and positional systems

  • Live positional training and sparring

  • Gi and NoGi applications

  • Takedowns and standing strategy

  • Competition preparation and strategy

  • Continued self-defence and practical application

  • Individual game development and progression through the ranks

Refine your game. Deepen your understanding. Pursue mastery.
