A BLACK BELT.
AN EDUCATOR.
IN YOUR CORNER.
Nick Coletti
First-degree black belt · Head instructor
Great jiu jitsu and great teaching are different skills. Nick brings both: over 16 years on the mats, 13 years of teaching, and a master’s degree in special education.
Expect thoughtful coaching, a sense of humor, and someone who cares about your progress as much as you do.
THE CONSTRAINTS LED APPROACH
DON’T JUST
LEARN A MOVE.
LEARN TO MOVE.
Instead of memorizing a long sequence, you get a situation, a goal, and a partner who responds in real time.
That’s the Constraints Led Approach, or CLA. Your coach changes the task to help you discover better solutions—whether it’s your first week or your tenth year.
Classes are designed around the people in the room. Nick aims for 48 to 54 minutes of active training in a 60-minute session, with purposeful games instead of a traditional warm-up.
- Live, responsive partners in every class
- One level: everyone trains together
- Tasks adapted to your experience
- Competition support if you want it
