Are you looking to start teaching BJJ classes? Maybe you already teach but want to improve your coaching skills? Or perhaps you’re looking for a way to train additional instructors for your school?
If the answer to any of those questions is YES… then this is going to be the most important message you read all day. Here’s why…
If you’re anything like most BJJ players who start teaching, you probably fell into the instructor role. Typically, your instructor says something like, “Hey Tom… I need some help teaching… can you start next week?”
You initially feel a sense of pride that your instructor thinks you’re good enough to teach a class. A sense of dread quickly replaces that feeling as you realise you have no idea how to teach a lesson or help your students improve.
That’s what happened to me when I started teaching… I had no idea what I was doing. Rather than let it deter me, I set about becoming the best instructor I could be.
I went on training courses, sort out the best teachers in the world to learn from, and devoured coaching manuals and instructionals.
That initial teaching experience was over 20 years ago, and with the help of my partner and fellow BJJ badass, we combined all our knowledge into a system that develops quality instructors even if they’ve never won a competition in their life.
This is the same system we use to train the instructors in our academy.
Before we get into that, you might be wondering who Chels and I are and why you should listen to us…
My name is Tom Barlow, and together with my wife, Chelsea Leah, we run Escapology BJJ. Both Chels and I are seasoned competitors and have fought at the highest level of Jiu Jitsu.
I’ve won 3x No Gi World Champion, 2x European Champion, ADCC Finalist, and Polaris veteran. You’ve probably heard my voice without realising it, as I’m one of the commentators for Polaris and other events.
Chelsea won the world’s as a brown belt, medalled at every major championship as a Black Belt, and competed on Metamoris, Polaris, Fight to Win Pro, and Five Super League.
Due to our successful competition records and (arguably more importantly) reputation as excellent instructors, we’re highly sort after to teach seminars in the UK and Europe.
On top of that, Chels and I run one of the most successful academies in our region. We grew it to nearly 150 students in a year of opening, rebounded to almost 200 students within a few months of COVID-19 restrictions ending, and consistently have an attrition rate of around 1.5%.
That attrition rate is staggering when considering the national average of around 6%. And it’s the reason for the success of the academy.
You might be thinking we’ve watered down our standards to grow so quickly, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Our standards are high, training is challenging, and our students usually podium when they compete.
The reason our academy is so successful all comes down to our coaching skills. One of the most common compliments we get from visiting students or at seminars is the quality of our instruction.
You might be thinking, “Of course your coaching is good… you’re world champions!” but we aren’t the only people who teach at our academy.
Chels and I don’t teach any beginner’s classes or younger kids sessions. Yet those classes are packed, and the students still love the sessions.
You see, no matter what the class, our instructors follow our teaching system that almost guarantees a class will be awesome.
In fact, one of the first things we did when we opened our academy was create an instructor training programme and train a team of instructors in this system to help us in classes.
Having a team of well-trained instructors is a MUST for academy owners or head instructors for a number of reasons…
The great thing about our instructor training system is anyone can learn it and start teaching excellent classes, provided they have a basic knowledge of BJJ.
Long story short, after a lot of questions about how we teach and run our classes, Chels and I decided to do something about it and make our instructor training programme available to the world.
We haven’t held anything back… this is the same course we use to train our instructors and the skills that help us teach fantastic classes day in and day out.
When Chels and I decided to make our instructor training system available, we wanted anyone in the world to be able to benefit from the knowledge without having to have direct contact with us.
After many months of trial and error, I’m pleased to say that we’ve achieved that.
We’ve packed decades of coaching experience into an 11 module prgramme, that can take people with no prior knowledge of coaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and teach them how to run safe, effective, enjoyable classes.
Of course, if you’re already coaching, this course will give you a new perspective on coaching and consolidate some ideas you may already have.
Broadly speaking, the instructor training programme is split into three areas – before, during, and after class. This is spread over 11 modules, with each module split further into bite-sized chunks. Here’s are the modules:
As you can see, each module is focused on a specific area of coaching and includes a series of detailed videos, worksheets, and quizzes to reinforce your knowledge, plus links to additional resources that will improve your coaching ability.
To avoid overwhelming you with information and allow you to implement the material, you’ll get access to one module per week until the course is complete.
Bonus #1 – The Perfect Class Structure – This eBook is an in-depth look into how to teach a class, so students enjoy it without burning yourself out. You’ll learn the flow of a lesson from start to finish, different types of sparring, how to deal with problem students professionally, and so much more.
Bonus #2 – How To Teach Tiny Humans – This eBook is an in-depth look into how to teach a kid’s class. You’ll learn the flow of a class from start to finish, expectations and developmental markers for different age groups, how to deal with problem students professionally, and so much more.
Bonus #3 – Class Video Breakdowns – Another bonus you’ll get is a breakdown of a 5-7 year old’s class, an 8-12’s class, and a beginner’s class. In these videos, we break down how we structure the classes, what we’re doing and why we’re doing it.
So you’re probably wondering what all this costs. And that’s a great question.
Having scoured the internet, I can tell you nothing really like this is available on the market. The closest programme I could find cost $1999, and I’ve paid anywhere from $999 – $2999 to go on instructor training courses in the past.
However, you won’t have to pay anywhere near that…
