Explore, adapt, and solve

Bring the thing that keeps going wrong in your rolls, and we work out why.

Start a free first week All classes

Several pairs drill techniques across the mats during class.

Learning through discovery

Solve the puzzle

Explore bridges the gap between a technique you have been shown and a technique that actually works when someone is resisting. We look at what happened in your rolls, find the quick fixes, and work out the mechanics underneath rather than memorising another sequence.

An hour of working things out rather than being told them. The aim is to outplay your partners, not out-muscle them.

Your own rolls

We start from what actually happened to you this week, and you leave with something you can use on Thursday.

Room to experiment

Capped at twelve, so you get looked at properly and there is space to try something that might not work.

Ready for Principles?

Principles is the other half of this: not what to try, but why it works when it does.
