INSIDE THE STUDENT CENTRED COACHING WORKSHOP YOU GET:

The training environment and culture within your academy will have a profound impact on your school. If you get it wrong, you’ll face an uphill battle against getting your students good at Jiu Jitsu, retention, and growing your academy.

However, instructors often focus on the wrong area when thinking about their classes and training environment.

Having a world-class training environment isn’t just about what you teach (techniques, drills, sparring, etc). It’s also about the way you interact with your students, how you structure your classes, and a bunch of other often invisible factors.

A great instructor knows that what happens on the mat is important, but what happens around the mat is critical.

In this training, you’ll discover our “student-centred” model of coaching that has helped us maintain a 2% attrition rate since we opened, while still creating high-level BJJ players.

• The main job of a BJJ instructor – it’s not what you think.
• The number one mistake instructors make that will make your attrition worse.
• The SSL Principle that will make your students love every class you teach and how to fix it if one of these is missing from your classes.
• The difference between a good and great instructor.
• The 3 core reasons students QUIT and how to create a class that eliminates them all.
• How to deal with injuries and reduce the chance it leads to quitting.
• Why a blue belt can be a better instructor than a black belt and when they aren’t.
• How to make your classes so smooth they almost run themselves — even when you’re running on fumes.
• Why a retention problem often has nothing to do with your technique.
• How over-coaching will make your students quit.
• Why your “energy” — not your curriculum — determines who stays, who leaves, and who becomes a black belt.
• How to spot the exact moment a student is about to quit — and save them with one conversation.
• The most important question you should ask yourself after every class.
• Why your best retention strategy has nothing to do with marketing — and everything to do with micro-moments on the mat.
• The single biggest lie instructors tell themselves about retention.
• What NEVER to automate in your academy — if you care about culture.
• The fastest way to make parents your allies instead of critics.
• When “letting them go” is the most powerful coaching move you’ll ever make.
• How to make your academy immune to competition — even if they undercut your price.
• The single most important mindset shift that turns teaching into leading.

Still on the fence?

Here’s what some of our members have to say about being part of Escapology Online:

I decided to sign up for Escapology Online after having some success with the Simple Submission System. I liked the way Tom broke down the moves and concepts and then strung them altogether with the drills and Mind Map.

I have not been in the gym as much as I’d like this first month but the days I’ve been in I have seen some progress especially with my side control.

On top of this the accessibility of Tom and Chelsea through this group is enough for the money. They get back very quickly with great advice along with the other members of the group. I’ll be sticking around with this group!
S.G. (White Belt)
I’ve know Tom for many years and in that time i have seen him evolve into an elite level competitor and coach. This is a rare combination.

Like Tom, i struggled have regular training partners and an instructor around me full time to guide me on my jj journey. Trial and error was my coach.

Escapology Online is a superb platform to help students, coaches and school owners alike to have access to some of the UK’s leading BJJ coaches.

I highly recommend Escapology Online to anyone serious about taking their Jiu Jitsu training to a new level. It is like have Tom and Chelsea with you on the mats.
J.E. (Black Belt)
BJJ is an art of centimetres and the better you get the tighter you need to be.

BJJ is accessible with countless videos and great rolls in class but with a simple question answered or video observation or critique from a competitive Black Belt as they arise, a bad habit can be stopped before it takes root, wasted time can be saved searching or experimenting to find an answer.

To this end the small, focused and technique driven closed group accelerates learning, increases motivation and ultimately improves your BJJ and fun.
J.H. (Purple Belt)
I joined this group as I have lots of holes in my game. I love BJJ and have a solid commitment to my Gym, however I needed something else.

YouTube is great for looking at random videos, but this group focuses on specific techniques, concentrated along a definitive learning path, which compliments my gym instructors and helps me focus.

The feedback is invaluable and allows me to gain second opinions on technical improvements, as well as a differing style of instruction.
S.S. (Purple Belt)
I joined the group because I struggle to get to classes regularly. I tried doing my own thing but it lacked structure and sometimes I would stop until the next class.

Since joining the group I have rarely had a day where I haven’t at least done the drills or looked at the technical guidance. And in only a month there has been an improvement.

I was concerned at first that I’d pay and not see any benefit. I was wrong and look forward to remaining a part of Escapology Online.
