LEVEL 3 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Congratulations and welcome! You just became part the most important part of a global family culture that prides itself on community, respect, and personal improvement! Jiu-jitsu is larger than we as individuals, but also it only survives and continues on as the world’s fastest growing sport because of individuals just like you! You are important to the tradition and future of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as well as as our studio. As you attend classes, become closer to your training partners, and experience your first stripe achievement you’ll realize just how much awaits you for years to come.
Our mission at LEVEL 3 is to create a clean, safe, and technically sound environment for learning and developing the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We are committed to working with all the men, women, and children in Moorpark regardless of previous experience or physical ability. We have committed our lives to this line of work because we know the positive impact practicing BJJ creates and that’s what we want to bring to our community!
We operate with two principle goals. First, we want each member to reach their full martial arts and athletic potential. Second, we want each member to know and feel even though they are participating in what some may consider an individual sport, they are in fact part of a team, a family. We make each other grow stronger to help each other grow as athletes, martial artists, parents, siblings, business professionals, and as people.
It’s not our intention to prove we are the toughest people in the world, but rather to show we have something that works time and time again with devastating effectiveness and practicality. We’ll provide you with the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction in Ventura County. Whether you want to learn self-defense, become a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition champion, or just get in shape while having fun, we can help you meet your goals!

Group & Private Training
Consistent class attendance is the only way for our program to help you reach your goals, so prioritize your training schedule and show up, even on day's you might not feel energetic or motivated. Yes, there will be those moments of self doubt and discouragement, but the only way to conquer that is to show up and train with your martial arts family in our positive environment. We promise you'll always go home feeling better knowing you did instead of wishing you had. That's discipline - doing what is best even if you don't think you can or don't want to. When you're consistent from day-one you'll get in the groove right away, make friends, and feel as if you're an important part of our school. You'll always go home feeling happier, sleep better, and feel a sense of accomplishment motivating you to keep moving forward. We cannot overstate the importance of starting strong and staying consistent!
GROUP INSTRUCTION
Group classes consist of physical conditioning, skill building drills and technique development. Our classes are a positive social experience with like-minded people who want to be at their best. Learning how to work with and respect others help us learn more about ourselves and stay calm in challenging scenarios. Group classes are roughly 60-minutes in duration.
PRIVATE & SEMI-PRIVATE INSTRUCTION
Private training allows us to personalize your experience and effectively deliver a custom-tailored curriculum to help you achieve your goals whether it be competition training, conditioning, flexibility, classical training, rank advancement or anything else. Private lessons are also an excellent for picking up techniques and principles that may not be covered until later in the class calendar, catching up on lessons you might have missed, or speciality training like tournament competition preparation or to specifically focus on just one martial arts element like striking or grappling. They are roughly 30 minutes in duration (60 minutes upon request) and are designed to refine your skills and / or provide additional help in troubled areas. If you cannot attend your private lesson for any reason a 24-hour advanced notice is required for a make-up lesson to be scheduled otherwise your lesson may be forfeited. “Private” lessons are valued-higher than “Semi-Private” lessons but do not include / allow other students. Semi-Private training allows you to be matched with partners of similar age, goals, and skill level to help you get the most from your martial arts training. Current monthly-tuition members enjoy discounts on private and semi-private training!
Rank Progression Outline
Rank progression is an exciting moment in our journey. From tying on your White Belt for the very first time, earning your very first stripe, and then achieving your very first colored belt - BLUE, you’ll feel a sense of motivation, pride, and accomplishment that will remind you what’s possible. There are 3 things that you must remember to ensure you reach your goals - no matter what they are:
Come to class: Consistently on the same days every week. Your body and mind will adapt to that schedule and get you in a groove as well as keep you there. Come to class unconditionally - no matter how busy you are, how unmotivated you feel, or what else you might come up with in place of attending, just show up. You’ll always go home with a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment!
Practice: Review your most recent principles learned, even just for 10 minutes on off-training days. The reflection and attention you give to your most recent class helps the ideas stick for next time.
Don’t quit: This is very simple, but not always easy! If you quit you can’t learn. If you can’t learn you can’t improve. If you don’t improve you won’t reach your goals. It doesnt matter how “slow” or “fast” you progress. The pace is FORWARD. We believe slower is faster and less is more. Taking things a step at a time doesnt always satisfy the instant gratification desire but it always results in a longer and more successful experience. Because progress and skill happen over time it can be hard to identify improvement in yourself. So trust your instructor to acknowledge your performance when the time is right. Make sure your expectations are real, readjust your goals as needed, and just keep going.
…AND THE BEST STRATEGY FOR ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS - BRING YOUR OWN TRAINING PARTNER!
You’ll make great connections here, but its always nice to start off with a familiar face!
