Transforming Coaching in Grappling: A Fresh Perspective
Coaching, at its heart, is a skill shaped by dedication and reflective practice. It’s a common misconception that teaching comes naturally to some and is out of reach for others. Our goal is to get rid of such myths. We are big proponents of the idea that anyone can excel in coaching with focused effort and a willingness to learn.
Your Roadmap to Mastery
Our aim is clear: to set you on a lifelong quest for coaching excellence. Our courses don’t promise to make you a great coach overnight—no course can. Instead, they offer a clear, navigable path, encouraging continuous growth and adaptation in your coaching methods. This approach reinforces the idea that mastery is a journey, not a destination.
Filling the Void
We recognized a glaring gap in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and grappling—a lack of standardized coaching protocols. Traditionally, the transition from player to coach has been a leap in the dark for many. Our courses aim to help you with this transition, ensuring that the teaching of grappling is consistent, thorough, and effective.
The Coach as a Multidimensional Leader
Our Grappling Coach Level 1 course focuses on nine essential attributes that define a successful coach:
- Presence: Building an engaging, positive and commanding presence.
- Attitude: How to act towards and interact with members.
- Knowledge: Deepening your grasp of the sport’s technical and theoretical aspects.
- Demonstration: Improving your ability to showcase techniques.
- Teaching: Refining how you teach classes to maximize learning.
- Seeing: Sharpening your skills in observing and assessing performance.
- Correcting: Becoming adept at offering helpful feedback.
- Group Management: Learning to manage the dynamics of groups effectively.
- Time Management: Making the most out of every training session.
Addressing these dimensions not only boosts your coaching capabilities but also enriches your students’ learning experience. The course encourages you to introspect, pinpoint areas for improvement, and enhance both your personal and professional growth.
