Welcome to UFAF University BJJ!

After gathering feedback from UFAF school owners and members, we identified a key need: a clear and structured path for advancing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), starting with the blue belt and then moving beyond. Some members expressed interest in earning BJJ ranks but did not desire to teach, rank their own students, or establish a UFAF BJJ Certified Program.

In response, we completely revamped the UFAF BJJ Blue Belt Curriculum and developed a comprehensive program for all ranks beyond Blue Belt. To maintain quality, the curriculum will be rolled out in stages, beginning with the Blue Belt program.

In addition, UFAF will offer a robust Instructor Certification Program for those seeking more than just BJJ skills and for those who want to maintain the highest standards. This program offers the knowledge needed to establish a UFAF BJJ Certified Program, including proven methods for teaching both youth and adult programs. You'll receive and be trained in the following: The more technical aspects of each lesson, lesson presentation, student retention, error correction for all age groups, effective marketing strategies, plus much more—all designed to help you grow your school without compromising quality.

Explore the chart below to learn about the four paths UFAF BJJ offers. Choose the one that aligns with your goals and take the next step in your UFAF BJJ journey.
