Meet Professor Nakapan
I've been training, teaching and competing in Jiu-Jitsu for over 30 years. I'm a 4th Degree BJJ Black Belt, Masters IBJJF No-Gi World Champion and retired Professional MMA fighter. I believe that Jiu-Jitsu can save the world and that anyone can learn it.
When I first started BJJ in 1990's there was NO SYSTEM for learning at least at my academy. I spent most of my time as a white belt, piecing together moves and getting smashed on the mat by my training partners. I can see why many people quit. I wished there was a system of learning that could give me the fundamental techniques and concepts I needed to succeed in Jiu-Jitsu so that I could start quickly dominating on the mats...Which is why the Battle-tested BJJ Curriculum was created.
I've developed a systematic method to learning that will help beginners and even advanced practitioners become skilled at "The Gentle Art". I'm going to share with you systems that I teach to my students at our Academy which are the same systems that I continue to use to this day as a Black Belt.
This course will transform you into a competent and capable grappler!

Why Our Course Stands Out:
Systematized Learning

You’ll start with core movements, then learn key escapes for white belt survival, and fundamental takedowns for safely controlling transitions to the mat. We also cover safe falling techniques for when you’re taken down. As you progress, you’ll master fighting from your back in positions like closed guard, half guard, and select open guards—allowing you to sweep and submit from seemingly disadvantageous spots. Finally, we focus on top control with pinning techniques, transitions to stronger pins, and submissions from dominant positions, giving you a complete system to grow your skill set.
Step-by-Step Instruction
Our curriculum breaks down each BJJ technique into easy-to-follow steps. From escapes to submissions and transitions, you’ll know exactly what to do, helping you build precision and confidence as you work toward your blue belt.
