From gym to gym
Every Session lands at a different academy. Session 01 is our first one outside RiseCore, hosted by Professor Jaysen Baxter at Dream Art Fullerton.

The idea
An event, not just a class
Two hours on the mat with grapplers from different gyms. You learn a guard that finally makes sense, you roll, you laugh, you talk, and you meet people who train like you do.
Then you leave with the photos and film to keep it.
Photos and video on this page are from RiseCore group sessions.

FAQ
Questions
What people usually ask before they grab a spot.
Still unsure?DM @johnatha
I won't know anyone there. Is that weird?
Most people won't. That's the point. Everyone gets introduced at the start.
How long should I plan for?
The seminar runs 10 to 12. Doors open at 9:30 and close at 12:30. Come early or leave on time, it's up to you.
How do I get the photos and videos?
We email you one link after the event. Download everything from there.
Do I have to be in the photos?
No. Portraits are optional.
Do I need to train at Dream Art?
No. Every gym is welcome.
I'm a white belt. Is this too advanced?
No. It's built to make guard simple, whatever your belt.
Is it hard on the body?
It's built on technique, not strength. Rounds are optional, and you go at your own pace.
What should I bring?
Your gi, water, and your questions.
Will I remember everything?
You don't have to. Every technique and live round is filmed, and you get the recording afterward.
What if it sells out?
After 35, you can join the waitlist and we'll contact you if a spot opens.
