Reducing trauma and increasing academy memberships and retention.

“We are not running Jiu-Jitsu schools, but mental hospitals.”

Master Pedro Sauer

Your members have experienced trauma. Help protect, equip, and keep them training for years to come!

With our Trauma Responsive Jiu Jitsu (TRJJ) certification, your instructors will know the science and research to support people in a trauma responsive way. They will learn to provide an environment rich in security, but also one that builds resiliency… and ultimately this certification will keep people in your jiu-jitsu school!

Frequently asked questions

What is required of me?

You will need to watch 12 online modules taught by trauma responsive mental health professionals and Jiu-Jitsu instructors. These courses will each be followed by an online quiz and journal prompt to be taken and answered at your own pace.

You will also need to complete several hours of consultation in a group setting or individually with a TRJJ certified trainer in order to discuss applying the material and keeping to the vision and mission of TRJJ. This will be a time to clarify and get support to utilize TRJJ in you area. Different time will be required depending on the consultants view of your understanding of the materials. Once you have completed the modules and consultation hours you will be officially certified and receive access to stickers, branding material, the podcast and more!

Can you host trainings and seminars in person?

YES! At an additional cost, a Certified TRJJ Trainer can come and host trainings and seminars in person until you are fully trained and certified yourself!

Individuals
$50 per month as an individual (not head instructor):
An individual instructor can go through training, but cannot mention TRJJ or use materials or resources to market. For individuals who want to use the information inside their current gym for specific classes or self improvement, but the gym does not currently want all the benefits of being TRJJ Certified and cannot claim to be for any purpose. May upgrade later. (Excludes module 12 covering marketing, retention, and increased revenue streams for the academy)

We believe people train because of a need for 3 major reasons: connection, safety, and healing. All three of these principles together bring about confidence, humility, and peace of mind. Anyone training martial arts who integrates their mind, body, and spirit will train for longer and see better results on and off the mats. They will also be a member who helps improve the culture and the value of your environment for everyone.

Our TRJJ certified gyms will be able to provide not only amazing jiu jitsu training, but will be strategically effective in retaining anyone who would normally be unable to train due to past experiences with trauma.

Reducing trauma & increasing retention is a win for everyone involved!
