Master Cycle FAQs

Whether you’re advancing from the Combatives program or returning to the mat after time away, here are answers to common questions about training in the Master Cycle.

Do I have to compete to train in the Master Cycle?

While the Master Cycle includes both sport jiu-jitsu techniques and real-world self-defense applications, the decision to compete in sport BJJ is entirely up to each student. Because sport competition demands a much higher intensity of training, the risk of injury is significantly greater. For that reason, the majority of Master Cycle students choose not to compete and instead focus on mastering the art for personal development, fitness, fun, and self-defense.

Live sparring is a regular part of the Master Cycle. You’ll always roll under the supervision of certified instructors, with partners matched to your level for safe, challenging practice.

Yes — even at this level, you’ll get clear structure and individual guidance, so you can advance steadily while training at a pace that suits your goals and lifestyle.

Both. In the Master Cycle, we train in the gi to simulate situations where clothing can be grabbed, and no-gi to prepare for real-world encounters where grips aren’t available. We also conduct fight simulation classes where students wear MMA-style gloves and learn how to defend themselves against a striking opponent—especially one with jiu-jitsu experience. This well-rounded approach ensures you’re prepared for the widest range of real-life scenarios.
