CT-B CLASSES: advanced fundamentals
The CTB curriculum builds off the CTA curriculum and includes more advanced concepts and positions. These classes will teach the curriculum step-by-step, focusing on Professor Caio Terra’s Jiu-Jitsu. Fundamental does not mean basic; it means important, and these classes are essential to building a solid foundation. This is a Traditional Gi class and is an hour long. Students with no experience are encouraged to try the intro to BJJ and CTA classes when possible.
CT-C Classes: Intermediate white/blue and above
This CTC curriculum was designed for more advanced students looking to expand their knowledge. In CTC classes, we follow the professor's curriculum for more advanced positions and the application of the fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu. This class has a minimum of 20 minutes of live training. This class requires experience and is for colored belts only. We do not make exceptions because we want to ensure your experience is a good one.

NO-GI Classes (UNIFORM REQUIRED)
This “No-Gi” class is designed for advanced students and consists of traditional Jiu Jitsu technics adapted to make up for the lack of a uniform to grab.
