BJJ Bottom Game Online Course
Bottom Game: get out from under, then sweep
The escapes and sweeps we teach every new white belt at One Way Martial Arts in Alexandria, VA. 22 lessons of about 3 minutes each, filmed on our mats, to watch on your phone before class.
Someone bigger is on top of you. You push. Nothing moves.
Every new white belt has that minute. Strength doesn't fix it. Knowing where to move your hips does.
Bottom Game starts there: how to make space and get your guard back, then come up on top.
Every lesson, in the order we teach it

Drill it live on our mats
The video shows you the move. A partner and a coach show you where you're getting it wrong. One Way is at 5416 Eisenhower Ave, a short walk from Van Dorn Street Metro.
First class free. Come in athletic clothes, and we lend you the gear you need.
I've never trained. Is this for me?
Yes. Bottom Game starts with how to move on the ground (shrimping and standing up safely) before any sweep or escape. It's the course to start with.
Do I need a training partner?
You can watch on your own. Every move is shown with a partner, so to drill it you'll want one.
Gi or no-gi?
The lessons are filmed in the gi.
How much does it cost?
$97 for one course, or $147 for Bottom Game and Top Game together. You pay once and get 1 year of access from the day you buy. Nothing renews and you are never charged again.
