What white belts are saying:

From white belts in Chris's other Building Blocks courses. Same method, same coach.

I'm a 6' tall 175 lbs (39 year old) white belt and I successfully upa'd a 6'-4" 330 lbs (23 year old) fellow white belt, so it can and does work!

Guard Passing Deep Dive · Aug 20

I cannot overstate how life-changing it has been to start using my hands with proper connection when I'm in the closed guard. I'm a crappy white belt, but I can briefly present PROBLEMS to the other guys in that position. I last a lot longer than I ever used to before…

I'm a 46 yr old white belt. I applied everything you said to the best of my ability and it worked phenomenally. I still get twisted into a pretzel and submitted, but it took my partner significantly longer to win.

44 year old white belt... I train at a great gym with great professors and coaches... I just need a structured foundation... Direct ties to Rickson Gracie is an awesome bonus!

Questions

What's in each module?

Every module follows the same six steps.

What is going on here. What makes you uncomfortable. Finding comfort. What the threats are. The Core 4 Building Blocks. How to disrupt your partner.

You learn a way of thinking. Not just a list of escapes.

What do I walk away with?

You won't become a black belt.

But you will understand how to survive and disrupt your partner in the 3 positions you get stuck in most.

Plus, you learn the Building Blocks: Base, Connection, Weight Distribution and The Middle.

They may sound foreign now. But they're more important than any technique, and you'll use them for your whole journey.

Is this right for me?

Yes, if you're thinking about starting Jiu-Jitsu.

Yes, if you're a white belt in your first year.

Yes, if you're over 40 and training for yourself. Everything runs on structure, not strength or speed.

If you're a blue belt or above, this is not for you.

How much is it?

$97. One-time payment.

Lifetime access, including every future update.

Plus, you get The Core 4 Building Blocks, a free livestream every month and the White Goat Community.

Who's teaching it?

Chris "Bones" Burns, a 3rd degree black belt under Rickson Gracie.

He remembers white belt. He was lost, and most rounds he was just trying to survive.

In his first year, a blue belt jumped guard on him and snapped both his medial tendons.

There were days he didn't think he'd make it. This course is what he wishes he'd had.
