They are required for all white belts and are recommended for advanced practitioners as well. Students will learn the concepts of grips, base, and posture while mastering critical attacking and defending techniques. Once students have a solid understanding and technical proficiency in the basics, they can attend the Combo classes which include intermediate and advanced techniques. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d8a7bf3be39d2b35c6a3b1/1675143104742-LRQHPEFAO8VWVICS00CE/RedlandsColorFix_1.485.1.jpg Program - COMBO Our Combo classes are designed to challenge beginners as well as reinforce the core concepts of jiu jitsu for intermediate and advanced practitioners. The Combo classes are open to all students and are for all levels. However, they are faster-paced than our Intro classes. Students should be familiar with the fundamentals of jiu jitsu before attending Combo classes in order to have the best learning experience. https://www.redlandsbjj.com/trial daily 0.75 2025-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d8a7bf3be39d2b35c6a3b1/1675143111927-DV5KG8XNUXYVWXWWP3BX/REDLANDS+SITE+POST+012423_1.460.1.jpg Trial - information@redlandsbjj.com (909) 353-4688 310 Alabama St J/K Redlands, CA 92374 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d8a7bf3be39d2b35c6a3b1/1675143111933-LCEI6UURWWWAFHMCJIPE/REDLANDS+SITE+POST+012423_1.457.1.jpg Trial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d8a7bf3be39d2b35c6a3b1/1675143111938-Q7E7HRTY7LDI3V4GVORX/RedlandsColorFix_1.483.1.jpg Trial https://www.redlandsbjj.com/ourstory daily 0.75 2023-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d8a7bf3be39d2b35c6a3b1/1675143115602-2OE2XZ69UASUB3NCEIH2/REDLANDS+SITE+POST+012423_1.455.1.jpg Our Story - GIVA SANTANA Giva Santana grew up poor in the sprawling favelas of Sao Paulo City, Brazil. He was the youngest of four children, with two brothers and a sister. At the age of two, their father abandoned Giva and his family. Faced with the choice of feeding her family or paying rent, Giva’s mother was forced to move her family into the slums of Sao Paulo. On countless nights, Giva lay starving in bed while his mother cried herself to sleep. The intense poverty, suffering, and violence that they endured helped pave the path for the man that Giva would become. But at the time, Giva just knew that he needed a way out of the slums to grow as a man and to make his mark on the world. He committed to five years in the Brazilian army where he got his first taste of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from Sargent Arlans Maia. He was hooked. To satisfy his new appetite for BJJ, he soon dedicated all of his free time and energy to his practice. When Sargent Arlans was transferred to another state, Giva was accepted into the school of legendary Master Moises Muradi and began training under Professor Raul Viera Souza. In 1999, he earned his black belt after winning his division in the Pan Ams, and placing second to Rodrigo Minautaro in the open division. Thanks to his BJJ record, along with his inspirational background and magnetic personality, Giva earned a scholarship to Santana University in Brazil. The poor boy from the streets of Sao Paulo was hard on the heels of his biggest dreams, and there was no stopping him now! Four years later, he graduated with degrees in Kinesiology and Physical Education. He was awarded twice as the “Best Student on Campus,” and once as the “Best Athlete on Campus.” But Giva didn’t rest on these accomplishments alone. Just one week after graduating, he won the Heavyweight Grand Prix in Korea with three submissions! It was an amazing start to his MMA career. Eighteen wins and just three losses later, Giva retired from MMA competition. Nicknamed “The Arm Collector” for his devastating armbar submissions, Giva now dedicates his life to sharing his love and knowledge of jiu jitsu. He currently has more than 20 years of experience teaching students of every level and background from children and hobbyists to professional fighters. Giva’s vision, beliefs, discipline, and values helped mold One Jiu Jitsu & Fitness into the premiere Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym in Orange County. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d8a7bf3be39d2b35c6a3b1/1675143115598-A1YS3USZ8OOJUG8IJRV1/REDLANDS+MATCH_1.206.4.jpg Our Story - Our Family We took great care in choosing instructors that live and teach the One Jiu Jitsu philosophy of empowerment and personal growth.

Jiu Jitsu evolved from Japanese judo, a well-known form of martial art, into its own distinct discipline. It focuses on employing leverage rather than strikes to control an opponent, thus eliminating the importance of size and strength in a conflict. Skillfully applied joint locks, submissions, and chokes neutralize any opponents, making jiu jitsu the world’s most effective and efficient form of self-defense. Jiu Jitsu also differs from many martial arts in that it is practiced as a sport featuring two basic classes of competition: Gi and NoGi (Submission Grappling). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d8a7bf3be39d2b35c6a3b1/1675143125896-RMUM3AGZBMUUL9GIJ8VG/REDLANDS+SITE+POST+012423_1.456.1.jpg Benefits - Programs Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is most often practiced with the Kimono (gi). The gi allows for a wider range of techniques due to the manipulation of the sleeves, pants, and jacket. The gi also promotes a slower, more methodical game which forces the user to think more strategically about their attacks and defenses. At One Jiu Jitsu, our gi classes are divided between Fundamentals and Advanced levels. This allows our instructors to focus on each student’s techniques, thus maintaining the quality of their learning experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d8a7bf3be39d2b35c6a3b1/1675143125907-FE52TECP1RG5BL7KCFGC/RedlandsColorFix_1.473.1.jpg Benefits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d8a7bf3be39d2b35c6a3b1/1675143125903-W1A1JM6B7K4EZ0HA3WMR/RedlandsColorFix_1.479.1.jpg Benefits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d8a7bf3be39d2b35c6a3b1/1675143125899-W9U0C3FWRHRMLGL04YO5/REDLANDS+SITE+POST+012423_1.458.1.jpg Benefits
