What you'll train
BJJ, broken down and built around you
位
Positions & control
Guard, mount, side control, and back — learn the hierarchy of position and how to hold, escape, and advance.
極
Submissions & escapes
Chokes, armlocks, and leglocks — plus the escapes and defenses that keep you safe when you roll.
反
Drills you can do at home
Solo movement work — shrimping, bridging, and flow drills — that build the reflexes that show up on the mat.
眼
On-camera testing
Perform your material on camera and get measured against real criteria — earn each stripe by showing it.
The path
White belt to black — one stripe at a time
White→Blue→Purple→Brown→Black
You earn stripes on each belt along the way — progress you can see.
Who it's for
Maybe you
- New to BJJ and want to walk into class already knowing the basics
- Training already and want to study positions between rolls
- No gym nearby, or in between memberships
- Coming back to the mats after time away
Keeping it real
An on-ramp, not a shortcut
A straight word: BJJ is a live, contact art — real progress needs rolling with training partners. Think of Shadow in Motion as your study hall and on-ramp: understand every position, drill the details on your own, and step onto the mat knowing exactly what to do. We prepare you — your gym and your rolls make you.
Train at home
Gear that helps you drill
A grappling dummy is your best solo tool. Drill guard passing, side control transitions, mount, and submission setups on your own time — perfect for grooving movement and muscle memory between classes. You can buy one pre-stuffed, or grab an empty shell and stuff it yourself with old clothes or towels to save money.
And whenever you can, grab a training partner and go through the curriculum together — even one buddy to drill and roll with makes all the difference. A dummy builds your reps; a partner makes them real.
