BEGINNER’S INTRO TO DEFENSIVE JIU JITSU: TAKEDOWNS, BREAKDOWNS & GETTING UP

Most people think self-defense starts with submissions. It doesn’t. It starts with staying on your feet—and knowing what to do when you don’t.

One of the biggest fears people have about starting Jiu Jitsu is getting taken down. They’re afraid of falling, getting hurt, or being thrown around by someone bigger or stronger.

At KATA, we believe beginners deserve a safer, more structured approach. This 4-week workshop is designed specifically for people with little to no experience. Whether your goal is self-defense, MMA, fitness, or building confidence, you’ll learn the fundamental skills every grappler should develop first.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
• How to safely close the distance & enter the clinch
• Safe, high-percentage takedowns
• How to fall safely & reduce the risk of injury
• How to establish control on the ground
• How to create space & get back to your feet

WHO IS THIS FOR?
• Complete beginners
• Adults interested in practical self-defense
• MMA enthusiasts building a grappling foundation
• Experienced practitioners sharpening their fundamentals
