Chris BONES Burns

2nd Degree BJJ Black Belt

Owner and Head Instructor, Zero Point Gracie Jiu-Jitsu

“Teach it like you fucking mean it!” That’s his philosophy.

Invisible Jiu-Jitsu is a term coined by Chris’ teacher, Master Rickson Gracie, to describe his unique approach and deep understanding of this art.  Invisible Jiu-Jitsu focuses on the subtleties of connection, weight distribution and timing and these invisible concepts are either difficult or impossible to see and must be felt to be fully understood.  

When the invisible concepts take the place of the regurgitation of techniques, the student will learn to “feel more than do.”

Jiu-Jitsu builds confidence, instils humility, and fosters personal development, respect, discipline, and control. It teaches you to remain calm in intense and challenging situations and strengthens the ability to solve problems in everyday life.

The art of Jiu-Jitsu is the art of life, and Chris Burns Zero Point method teaches for life.

  • So you think you know jiu-jitsu? Chris will ask you to do a move on him and you’ll go ‘Ha, I’ve got this!’. Then he stops it right in its tracks with a simple adjustment and leaves you all puzzled and confused. Then, in one sentence he will share a detail with you that turns out not just to be a detail but an essential part of the technique.
