Silver Level: Start a UFAF BJJ Garage
If you do not already own a UFAF Charter School (CNS and/or Krav) and are unsure whether you want to teach BJJ or establish a UFAF BJJ Certified Program, start a UFAF BJJ Garage to test the waters.
If you do not already own a UFAF Charter School (CNS and/or Krav) and you are not sure that you want to teach BJJ or establish a UFAF BJJ Certified Program? Start a UFAF BJJ Garage to test the waters. This allows you to train with others and see if there's demand for a full program in your area. You can bring in training partners by word of mouth, but you can’t advertise a BJJ program to the public or charge tuition to students, aside from splitting the small monthly operating fee.
Cost: $215/month (includes curriculum for you and 5 other students). Additional students are $35 each/month.
How to Start a UFAF BJJ Garage:
1. Register Your Garage: After confirming your territory is available, create a profile in UFAF University, obtain online access to the curriculum, list your five training partners plus yourself, and start training.
2. Train & Submit Your Pre-Test: Follow the same process as solo training—record, upload, and submit your pre-test videos. If you're a crossover student or you were promoted in UFAF BJJ prior to November 1, 2024, contact UFAF to request an override on the 12-month wait time to pre-test.
3. Schedule Your Live Test: Upon passing the pre-test, schedule your in-person blue belt evaluation. Follow the same process as solo training (bronze level option).
