Sample Weekly Schedule Map

An example of how a client protects training time across a standard week:

Wednesday 6:00 PM — Small-group Class (Mount Escapes)

Narrated Video Feedback Example

Every week, you receive a narrated video review highlighting key positioning changes:

0:42 Sandy's Note: "Notice how your right hand is placed. Move it to the hip frame to block their forward pressure."
1:15 Sandy's Note: "Excellent hip extension here. This completely resets their base and gives you space to escape."
2:05 Sandy's Note: "Keep your head online with their chest here to prevent them from securing a cross-face grip."

Rules

Program Policies

Because we limit the program to one active client, we require clear agreements to protect coaching hours and studio capacity.

  1. Start & End Dates
    The 30-day term begins with your first private coaching session. All 12 private sessions and group classes must be completed within 30 consecutive calendar days.
  2. Private Sessions
    All sessions are 60 minutes long and must be pre-scheduled before tuition payment. Unused sessions expire at day 30.
  3. Cancellations & Missed Sessions
    We require a 24-hour notice to reschedule a private session. Late cancellations or no-shows count as completed and deduct from your balance. If Sandy cancels, the term is extended or a make-up is provided.
  4. Group Attendance Limits
    Three planned classes per week (up to 12 total group classes). Rescheduling group seats is subject to class capacity and partner placement; there are no guaranteed extra seats or class cap overrides. Sandy may invite you to an additional suitable session when space, coaching capacity, and partner placement allow.
  5. Laundry & Storage
    Covers one laundry bag per week, up to three training sets (72-hour turnaround). Excludes personal clothing and home delivery. Unclaimed gear is moved to lost and found after 30 days.
  6. Medical Interruptions
    If an injury or medical condition prevents training, one documented pause of up to 14 days is permitted to extend the term.
  7. Video Privacy & Support
    Video feedback is for technical training only. Recording requires mutual consent. Direct text support is available during business hours (9:00 AM - 6:00 PM) with a normal 4-hour response window.

Assurance

7-Day Program Conversion Option

You may request a program conversion within seven calendar days of your first private session. Sandy will deduct completed private sessions at the single-session rate ($195), completed group classes at the day-pass rate ($30), and the disclosed cost of ordered gear ($150). The remaining amount becomes academy credit valid for 12 months, which can be applied to standard memberships (Core Culture), family training, or private coaching sessions. Credit may also transfer to another member of your household.

Clear. Fair. Still premium.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about the BJJ Immersion program.

Can I start this immersion if I am completely out of shape?

Absolutely. The 12 private coaching sessions are custom-paced to your current physical output. We focus on movement mechanics, safety habits, and basic positioning first. You will build stamina naturally as you progress.

What happens if I have to miss a private session?

We require a 24-hour notice to reschedule a private session. Late cancellations or no-shows count toward the completed session count. All 12 sessions and group classes must be completed within the 30-day program duration.

How safe is this for an older adult or total beginner?

Safety is the core foundation of our academy. Private sessions are 100% controlled learning experiences, and our small-group classes have caps and strict rules on intensity. There is no uncontrolled sparring or "egotistical" rolling.

What gear do I need, and is it included?

We include one custom-fitted academy gi with your enrollment. We also provide merchandise and hydration in your welcome kit. For hygiene, we offer weekly laundry service for up to three training sets.
