GB2 Intermediate

Take the next step in your Jiu-Jitsu journey. Build on your fundamentals with advanced techniques, combinations and your first taste of live training.

Where Fundamentals Become Skills

GB2 is where your Jiu-Jitsu starts to feel like your own. You'll deepen technical combinations, learn to chain submissions, and begin positional sparring with structured live drills.

Classes are still tightly coached — instructors break down advanced ideas into the same step-by-step format you trained with in GB1, just with more complexity and more partner pressure.
