By

35805459_965956513585725_809012078667890688_o Yemaso Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, established in 2011, quickly made a name for itself in the Northern California area with immediate team success in competition. Yemaso BJJ is the only team in Sacramento to win International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation team titles.  The team was founded by multiple time world champion, Marcos “Yemaso” Torregrosa. Yemaso BJJ continues to gain notoriety in the competition scene as it continues to produce local, national, and international champions at all levels. Team Yemaso BJJ is currently operating the main headquarters in Sacramento, CA, and has two satellite schools in Elk Grove and El Dorado Hills. Yemaso BJJ continues to expand by adding newly affiliated Komainu Gym from Reno, Nevada to the team.
After vetting and considering several options, we decided Yemaso BJJ was the right fit for our gym. We love the communal and family atmosphere that Yemaso BJJ has instilled in its culture. – Instructor Jerel Hallert
Jerel Hallert runs the Reno gym together with Byron Cragg.  They shared that another big reason for choosing Team Yemaso was the strict attention to detail in techniques, the focus on fundamental Jiu-Jitsu principles, and the mix of wrestling/judo that characterizes the Yemaso style of BJJ.

Yemaso BJJ Adds two Classes to Evenings

Our martial arts academy has been diligently growing.

One of the most common questions we receive from potential new students is about classes specifically for beginners.

Starting a combat sport can be intimidating; it is easy to forget how intimidating starting a combative martial art can seem to be, for those of us who have been long removed from our first days.

Yemaso BJJ has always believed in having a specific on-boarding experience for new members.  Historically, we have taken new students and paired them up with high ranked students during classes and slowly absorbed them into the daily curriculum after weeks of scaffolding warmups, reviewing positional hierarchy, and going over a basics crash course.

This has worked for us for years, but, as the academy continues to grow, we see an opportunity to develop the on-boarding experience, for new students, to increase the efficacy of learning and introduce the beauty that is the Art of Jiu-Jitsu.

Fundamentals Class

High ranked students will continue to be an integral part of the on-boarding process for new students; we will not disallow senior students to attend the fundamentals class.  In fact, we will be counting on high ranked students to continue to refine their fundamentals as well as aid in the development of new students.

Goals of The Fundamentals Class

  • Provide a highly structured welcome experience for new students.
  • Make the learning of Jiu-Jitsu a more accessible & inclusive experience.
  • A razor sharp focus on the fundamentals that make Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu an effective form of self-defense.
  • Prepare new students for participation in the advanced class.

This class will be open to all members.  Through the aid of multiple high ranking people, we will facilitate a class that is mutually beneficial for the newest of all students as well as for the more experienced students.  We look forward to the development of this class for our students.  The cumulative effect of the curriculum combined with our training practices have been paramount to Yemaso BJJ becoming the only Martial Arts Academy in Sacramento to have won an International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation team trophy.  In fact, we have won four IBJJF team trophies in four consecutive years.

The fundamentals class will be held 6:30pm – 7:30pm, Monday through Thursday.

Advanced Class

Immediately following the fundamentals class, we will be holding a new class aimed to explore the intricacies of skill refinement for live applications.  We look to introduce state of the art concepts and theories to challenge the most skilled martial artists.  Basically, we are taking our existing curriculum and diving deeper into mastering the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and grappling.

Goals of The Advanced Class

  • Challenge students to attain new levels of BJJ/grappling skill.
  • Provide a platform for rigorous discipline towards their individual goals.
  • Help students express technique to their fullest potentials.
  • Create competent and comprehensive grapplers on the way to the black belt.

The Advanced class will be held 7:30pm to 9:00pm, Monday through Thursday.
