Free GU Lesson-of-the-Month! Each month, we unlock a free lesson in the Gracie University curriculum library for 30 days. No purchase is necessary, and no credit card is required to view the lesson. This month’s free lesson is from the Purple Belt Stripe 4 curriculum: The Anchor Principle (Principle 25).
The lesson format in the Purple Belt curriculum is unique. Instead of teaching a technique in isolated steps, Ryron and Rener focus on a principle that can be applied across multiple techniques. After breaking it down, they explain how to develop a deeper understanding of the concept and how to apply it when analyzing different movements. They also demonstrate how to spar with a focus on the principle, helping you recognize it in live training.
