Adult BJJ - Intermediate / Advanced Program

Advanced Training for Experienced Practitioners Ages 14+ in St. Mary’s County

The Adult Intermediate / Advanced program at Lineage BJJ® is designed for students who already understand the basics and are ready to train with greater depth, intensity, and responsibility.

This is not about collecting techniques.
It’s about pressure-tested skill, decision-making, and control under realistic conditions.

Built for Students Who Want More

Lineage BJJ® was founded by a Navy veteran and retired U.S. Secret Service professional with decades of experience training for real-world pressure.

That mindset drives this program.

Intermediate / Advanced training is for students who:

• Have a solid foundation in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

• Can train safely and responsibly with resisting partners

• Want to sharpen timing, transitions, and problem-solving

• Value structure, coaching, and accountability

This is where training becomes intentional.

What Makes This Program Different

Advanced training at Lineage BJJ® is structured, not chaotic.

• Authentic Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
  Rooted in control, leverage, awareness, and adaptability across Gi and No-Gi.

• Pressure-Based Training
  Live resistance, positional rounds, and scenario-based training refine timing and decision-making.

• Expanded Skill Sets
  Training may include advanced positional strategy, takedowns (judo & wrestling), and real-world application.

• Open Mats With Purpose
  Structured and supervised—not reckless, not chaotic.
