Blue Belt Self-Defense Drill
--None--
Norfolk Karate Academy's self-defense drills are comprised of Gracie jiu-jitsu techniques found in the original self-defense program developed by Grandmaster Helio Gracie. It includes nearly all of the techniques in the Gracie Combatives course, but does not substitute for taking the course. We've divided the drills into four levels -- white belt through blue belt -- with each drill addressing similar common self-defense scenarios. Beyond the blue belt drill, we emphasize standing techniques from the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy's Master Cycle curriculum. A brown belt in the tang soo do program must earn a blue belt in Gracie jiu-jitsu as a prequisite for promotion to black belt.
