🧠 Coaching Style

Suraj has a strong passion for advanced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu systems, particularly Half Guard based attacks.

His personal game revolves around a connected guard system that includes:

Half Guard
Deep Half Guard
Mermaid Guard
X Guard

Rather than relying on a single position, Suraj links these guards together into a constant attacking cycle. If one option is shut down, he immediately transitions to the next, maintaining pressure and control.

For Suraj, these guards feel natural and instinctive.

“When I play these guards, it feels like I’m at home. Relaxed, comfortable, like I belong there.”

His teaching focuses on:

Half Guard control and sweeps
Pressure based passing
Advanced positional systems
Submission chains
Competition focused strategy

Technical. Calculated. Detailed.

Suraj’s sessions are ideal for students looking to develop a deeper understanding of modern BJJ systems and competition ready grappling.
