Frequently asked questions


1 - What is BJJNerd and why does it exist?

Our mission is to help anyone learn BJJ and create a positive impact in people's lives.

  • Brazilians have the natural ability to improvise and find alternative ways to overcome any situation.
  • Gringos expect structure, know what comes next and where things are going.

We bring both things together. Obviously, you need to train a lot to get better. However, at BJJNerd we encourage you to train smarter, not harder. Train quality matters.
