Fundamentals

Master the essential skills and knowledge to confidently advance from beginner to intermediate level.

How the classes are structured

Every class starts with a very light general warmup. This is followed by a few partner drills related to the position of the week.

We don't do hard warmups at the bjj wädenswil. if you want to do additional strength and conditioning the Budo Schule Wädenswil has a gym Area that can be used uin accordance with the BSW owner in exchange for a small surcharge.

In our fundamentals program we focus on teaching a system and not just isolated techniques.

When you learn a technique, we also cover the common reactions that opponents will give you and how to counter those reactions. Instead of trying to force a technique on your opponent, the sport now becomes a battle of wits and timing.

There is positional and free sparring (about 30 minutes total) at the end of each class.

Our kids’ program introduces Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a fun and supportive environment.

For ages 4–7, the main focus is fun and movement. Through games, coordination drills, and basic grappling, kids stay engaged while developing balance, confidence, and body awareness.

For ages 8–12, training remains fun—especially during warm-ups—but the focus shifts more toward learning basic Jiu-Jitsu techniques.
