At Gracie Barra Scotland, we run a variety of training classes to help you become the best version of yourself possible. We are continuing our look at the classes and which ones may be best suited to you to help with your development.
CLASS FOCUS: Personal Training w/ Prof Gillon
This week, we will be looking at our highly sought after personal training sessions with Professor Gillon.
What | BJJ is a thoroughly enjoyable sport and one that will develop participants, mentally, physically and emotionally.
However, there is a wide range of techniques, concepts, guards, submissions, passes, escapes etc to learn and it is not always possible to gather an extensive understanding of each from participating in lessons only. You can gain an understanding of the moves but sometimes it is hard to learn all the little parts that can bring your BJJ game from good to amazing. Therefore, we recommend all students should sign up for a private lesson to really take your training to the next level. It is an opportunity to learn the little touches and fixes that will allow you to improve and develop no matter your starting point, by working with Professor Gillon and have exclusive focus and training. You can gain a general understanding from the classes but it is in the personal lessons where your understanding of and ability to perform will reach new heights. |
Led by | Professor Gillon |
Suitable for | All GB Glasgow students, all students who are looking to improve their skills, techniques, and understanding of BJJ game and competing. It doesn’t matter whether you are a white or brown belt, all students can take something from a personal lesson.
You do not need to be fit to begin, you do not need to have been training for a set period. All students can attend and learn from the experience. Professor Gillon will work with each student and structure a training programme for your needs, teaching the required techniques and concepts in an understandable and enjoyable way, which will really stay with you and improve your BJJ game considerably. |

WHAT DO THE PARTICIPANTS SAY ABOUT THE CLASS
“I started private jui jitsu sessions with Ricky a year and a half ago, and it brought my BJJ on leaps and bounds. Ricky is a great coach with a wealth of knowledge and makes training enjoyable, as well as teaching techniques that actually work.
Getting one to one sessions allows you to focus on specific areas that you wish to improve. I would highly recommend to everyone!“

“I have also been doing a number of Private Training sessions and my skill development has exploded and I am stunned at how much I have come on by attending these. I would attribute a good portion of my recent promotion to blue belt on attending these sessions and what I have learned by working 1 on 1 with Professor Gillon.
It is all the little things that he shows, the changes in grips, the fixes with movement or how to move your body during submissions that is the real game changer. I would recommend that every student takes a lesson or a block of lessons. You will not regret it” Ian |

“I have been training at Gracie Barra Glasgow for a couple of months now, but I had my first private training session with Prof. Gillon (or Ricky) on Saturday. We did fundamental training with different passes. He stressed and demonstrated the importance of understanding positioning as well correcting my technique.
I was worried about not ever being strong enough since I am of average height and weight as well as being new to jiu-jitsu, but he taught me small variations and techniques and made them relevant to my situation. I not only enjoyed myself while training with him but also learned a lot in that hour. His patience and positive attitude to new students is truly amazing and it makes me want to keep coming back. If you are new to jiu-jitsu, I would highly recommend Gracie Barra Glasgow. But if you are starting out and want to get all your fundamentals firmly in place, I would definitely recommend training with Ricky.” Sayali |
