Enhancing Student Retention in BJJ Academies
We recognize that keeping students engaged and committed is a pivotal challenge faced by BJJ academies worldwide.
Inconsistent Teaching Quality
Many academies face the issue of inconsistent teaching quality, leading to student dissatisfaction and dropout.
Our CMJJ Program ensures all instructors receive rigorous training and continuous professional development, guaranteeing a consistent, high-quality learning experience for every student.
Limited Curriculum Structure
A lack of structured progression can leave students feeling lost and unmotivated
We offer a comprehensive, systematic curriculum that clearly outlines the path of progression, keeping students engaged and focused on their goals
Lack of Personal Attention
In larger classes, the personal touch can get lost, making students feel neglected.
Our program emphasizes small class sizes and individualized feedback, ensuring every student feels valued and supported in their journey.
Lack of Community
A strong sense of community is crucial for retention, yet some academies struggle to foster this.
We cultivate a supportive and inclusive environment, where camaraderie and mutual respect drive our academy’s spirit.
We believe you deserve a flourishing academy where every student feels the drive to learn & every staff member is motivated to teach
