Elevate Your Skills with Calvert MMA Academy’s® Intermediate/Advanced Adult Jiu-Jitsu Program

Whether you’re a seasoned grappler or just starting to gain traction in your Jiu-Jitsu journey, the Intermediate/Advanced Program at Calvert MMA Academy® offers unparalleled opportunities to grow, refine, and master your skills. With a curriculum that incorporates the Gracie legacy, advanced grappling techniques, and a culture of excellence, this program is the next step toward unlocking your potential.

Why Train at Calvert MMA Academy?

Gi and NoGi Grappling: Versatility in Training

Our program develops proficiency in both Gi (traditional uniform) and NoGi (grappling without the uniform).

  • Gi training: Focuses on grip-based control, precise submissions, and advanced positional techniques, leveraging the Gi as an essential tool.
  • NoGi training: Prioritizes speed, agility, and strategies adaptable to real-world scenarios and competition settings, where clothing grips are not an option.

Gracie Self-Defense System: A True Martial Arts Foundation

Learn the authentic Gracie self-defense system, which includes:

  • Defending against strikes, clinches, and takedowns.
  • Weapon defense techniques, such as gun retention/takeaways, knife disarms, and neutralizing attacks with sticks, bats, and clubs.
  • Real-world applications that complement the advanced grappling techniques taught in class.

Advanced Techniques and Positional Sparring

Our curriculum is tailored for students eager to deepen their understanding of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, integrating elements of wrestling, Judo, and catch wrestling.

  • Advanced positional work: Master positions like mount, guard, side control, and back control, while learning to dominate and escape with precision.
  • Submission-first mindset: We focus on teaching techniques that end fights—whether in competition or self-defense situations—over point-focused strategies.
  • Positional sparring: Controlled, situational training designed to sharpen specific techniques and strategies in live scenarios.

Flexibility for All Skill Levels

While we recommend at least a 2-stripe white belt or equivalent experience, we welcome students with prior grappling backgrounds, such as wrestling, Judo, Sambo, or catch wrestling, or those transferring from other Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools.

Additionally, if you demonstrate aptitude, enthusiasm, and a commitment to learning, our instructors may approve your participation even as a beginner. For newcomers, our team provides guidance to ensure you train safely and effectively, with recommendations on pacing yourself to maximize your experience.

Open Mat Sessions and Community Bonding
