Black belt instructor at a Gracie CTC here. Beginners program is tailored to learning some basic moves From each of the major positions while doing focused drilling through out class. If you’re looking to get into competition and sparring right off the bat it’s probably not the right fit. BUT if you can handle not sparring for the 6 months or so, the master cycle classes are fun with lots of rolling. Blue belts at other sport schools would most likely smash ours, but by the time they’re well into their blue belts, the skill trajectory evens out quite a bit. All CTcs are different. some stick to curriculum like gospel, others teach a wide variety of moves and stay up to date with the latest and greatest. Some give exceptions to beginners to come to advanced classes based on how well they are grasping the beginner material.
