What you train in BJJ competition training in Vienna

In competition, it’s not about how many techniques you know, but how many work under pressure. That’s why the Competition Class is almost all sparring, structured like a tournament day.

  1. 01

    Competition-specific sparring

    Rounds at tournament length, with points, advantages and referee feedback.

  2. 02

    Tournament scenarios

    Holding a lead, attacking from behind, the last 30 seconds: the situations that decide matches.

  3. 03

    Takedowns and guard pulling

    How the match starts: grip fighting on the feet, pulling guard or throwing, scoring the first points.

  4. 04

    Game planning

    Define your A-game, have a plan B for the most common opponent types, build on your strengths.

  5. 05

    Conditioning and toughness

    Several rounds back to back, just like on tournament day, with a focus on breathing and pace.

  6. 06

    Mental preparation

    Use your nerves, plan your weight and nutrition, build a pre-match routine.
