Where Competitors Are Built

The Advanced program at Van Isle BJJ is for serious practitioners who are past the basics and ready to take their technique and ability to the next level. Open to students with 2 stripes or 70+ classes, this is where students sharpen their timing, strategy, conditioning, and competition skills in a more focused, high-level training environment.

You’ll train alongside a coaching team and competitive academy that has brought home multiple IBJJF gold medals, many from major tournaments including Worlds, Pan Ams, American Nationals and more.

This is where the game changes from learning the basics to refining your Jiu Jitsu at a deeper level.

What You’ll Train in Advanced BJJ

High-Level Concepts

Modern, principle-based Jiu Jitsu rather than isolated techniques — including the current no-gi meta being taught in the world’s best schools, and modern gi technique popularized by coaches like the Mendes Bros, Cobrinha, Lepri, and more. Frame management, weight distribution, guard retention, and the cleanest details from the best academies in the world.

Competition Prep

Tournament-specific training blocks built around IBJJF rules, situational sparring, and round-by-round pacing. Whether you’re training for your first competition or your fifteenth, the room is built to bring out your best.

Open Sparring

Real, hard rolls with real, hard partners — in a culture that still leaves the ego at the door. Train with people who push you, in a room that wants you to win.

Both Gi and No-Gi

Advanced Gi and Advanced No-Gi run every week. Many upper belts train both; some specialize. Either path is fully supported.
