BJJ Workshops
in Costa Rica
Four days of focused training with world-class instructors, built around one system you can take back to your home mats.
Go deeper than a seminar.
Most seminars give you a collection of techniques and a few hours to absorb them. Vector workshops are different.
Each four-day workshop is built around a specific system or skill, giving you time to learn it, drill it, test it under resistance, revisit the details, and understand how it fits into your existing game.
Josh Saunders
Fundamentals of Top Control
Build an integrated system for taking opponents down and controlling what happens next. Develop reliable takedown entries, eliminate scrambles, maintain pressure, and connect the takedown directly to positional dominance.
Malachy Friedman
Unlocking Hidden Mechanics in Everyday Positions
Make the techniques already in your game work better. Explore the subtle mechanical details, adjustments, and control principles that can dramatically improve efficiency, retention, and finishing across familiar positions.
Robert Diggle
Build lower-body attacks into a complete No-Gi game
Learn how leg attacks connect naturally with guard retention, passing, sweeping, back takes, and positional advancement instead of treating leg locks as an isolated game.
Michael Currier
Controlling the Fight from the Bottom
Develop a control-first guard system designed to slow aggressive opponents, disrupt posture, force predictable reactions, and create reliable paths to sweeps, back takes, and submissions.
