At Bones Jiu Jitsu, our adult Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program in Clifton NJ is built to serve beginners, experienced practitioners, and serious competitors under one structured system. Whether you’re stepping onto the mats for the first time or refining advanced techniques, our curriculum provides a clear path toward measurable progress.
Every class is part of a comprehensive development plan centered around technical precision, discipline, and steady improvement. Students follow a proven structure that builds skill layer by layer, ensuring long-term growth instead of short-term results. Instead of guessing what to work on, you’ll always have direction and purpose behind your training.
Over time, this approach helps students build confidence, improve conditioning, and develop real, functional skill. Whether your goal is fitness, self-defense, or competition, our program is designed to meet you where you are and help you move forward.
White Belt Program
The White Belt Program is where your foundation is built. New students are introduced to essential positions, movements, and defensive principles in a controlled, supportive setting that prioritizes safety and proper technique.
Rather than overwhelming beginners with random techniques, we focus on developing understanding. You’ll learn why positions work, how to stay composed under pressure, and how to move efficiently. This structure allows students to gain confidence quickly while building habits that support long-term success.
As you progress, you’ll begin to recognize patterns, improve your timing, and feel more comfortable in live training situations. This phase is all about building a strong base that supports everything you learn moving forward.
Fundamentals Class
Our Fundamentals Class reinforces the techniques and concepts that every practitioner must master, regardless of rank. These sessions emphasize posture, balance, pressure, timing, and connection between positions.
Students begin to see Jiu Jitsu as a complete system rather than isolated techniques. By consistently refining the basics, practitioners develop sharper reactions, stronger defense, and smoother transitions — the true markers of high-level skill.
This class is also where students build consistency. Repetition and attention to detail allow techniques to become second nature, giving you the confidence to apply them effectively during live training.
NoGi Training
NoGi training focuses on speed, transitions, body positioning, and submission grappling without reliance on traditional grips. This environment challenges students to develop heightened awareness, control, and adaptability.
The pace is dynamic, but the structure remains intentional. Athletes build a strong understanding of modern grappling systems while sharpening scrambles, attacks, and defensive reactions that translate across all areas of Jiu Jitsu.
In addition to technical growth, NoGi training improves conditioning, movement, and overall athleticism. It’s an essential part of becoming a well-rounded practitioner and complements Gi training perfectly.
Gi Training
Gi training emphasizes technical depth, grip strategy, and layered attacks that require patience and precision. The Gi slows the pace just enough to demand detail, making it one of the most effective tools for developing clean mechanics.
Students learn how to control opponents, create openings, and apply pressure through structured systems. Over time, this builds a level of efficiency and technical sharpness that elevates every aspect of their game.
Training in the Gi also strengthens discipline and focus. It teaches you how to think ahead, set up techniques, and execute with precision — all while maintaining control and composure.
Competition Training
Competition training is designed for students who want to test themselves at the highest level. These sessions demand focus, discipline, and a willingness to push beyond comfort zones.
Through advanced drilling, strategic preparation, and high-intensity rounds, competitors refine both their physical conditioning and tactical awareness. The same structure that develops champions also strengthens hobbyists who want to train at a higher standard.
While this program is built for competition, the benefits extend to all students. Training at this level raises the standard of the entire room, helping both competitors and hobbyists improve faster and develop a higher level of skill.
