Train Anywhere. Study With Purpose. Keep Moving Forward.

The Academy is not a collection of random techniques. It is a structured training platform built around curriculum, progressions, and principles that connect the dots.

YouTube can be useful for inspiration, but most of what is out there is scattered, out of sequence, and missing the deeper explanation that makes things actually work.

Inside the Academy, the material is organized so you can build skill over time, starting with fundamentals and moving into deeper layers of mechanics, timing, and strategy. You are not just learning moves, you are learning a method.

No. You do not need prior experience to start. The Academy is structured so beginners can build a strong foundation step-by-step, while experienced students and coaches can go deeper into mechanics, details, timing, and higher-level training concepts.

If you are brand new, you will have a clear starting point and progression. If you have been training for years, you will find plenty of material to sharpen your skills, tighten your fundamentals, and expand your understanding.

Immediately. Once you enroll, you can begin training right away. There is no waiting period, no complicated setup, and no special equipment required to get started.

Simply log in, choose your training path, and begin learning from day one.

Yes. Membership is month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime. There are no long-term contracts. Stay enrolled for as long as you are actively training and using the material, and if you ever need to pause, you can do that without hassle.

Yes. Living Mechanics and the Warrior’s Path Academy are updated consistently throughout the year.

Each January and February, we run a dedicated recording block where Alan and the team focus heavily on filming new lessons, expanding the curriculum, and improving the depth and organization of the archive.

Beyond that, we continue recording year-round as classes, private lessons, seminars, camps, and workshops take place. The result is a living platform, not a one-time dump of content.

Not always. It depends on what you are studying and how far you want to take it.

For the Warrior’s Path program, you can make a tremendous amount of progress training solo through breathwork, posture, alignment, joint expansion, mobility, strength development, tool flow training, meditation, and daily physical culture work.

Living Mechanics Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is different. You can start and make progress on your own through movement training, solo drills, positioning concepts, mobility, and strength work. But eventually, if you want timing, pressure, sensitivity, and resistance-based skill, you will need live training with a partner.

Yes. Online students can work toward rank, but you will need to train with Alan in person at some point in the process. That can be done through private lessons, public seminars, camps, or other live events.

If you want to follow the rank path, contact us through the website and tell us that is your intention. We will help you map out a realistic plan based on where you live, how you train, and what events you can attend.

Yes. Even if you train primarily through the online academies, you still have opportunities to train in person.

Alan travels throughout the United States each year teaching seminars, workshops, camps, and special events across multiple martial arts systems and defensive tactics topics. These events are open to online Academy students.

Yes. Inside the Academy archive, you will find detailed written curriculum documents that guide your training. These outlines help you understand what to work on, what order to study it in, and how the material fits together.

Yes. Inside the Academy, you will have options to ask questions and get answers from our team. You can also reach out directly to the staff if you need guidance.

In many cases, we will address student questions by filming a detailed response and adding it to the platform, so the Academy continues to grow based on what members are actually working through.

Yes. Both Warrior’s Path and Living Mechanics have in-depth instructor and affiliate training paths for coaches who want to study the material at a higher level and, if desired, bring it into their own academy or training environment.

If you are interested, contact us through the website. Tell us a little about your background and what you are looking to build, and we will guide you to the right path and next steps.

After enrollment, you will receive access to the Academy platform where you can immediately begin exploring the curriculum, training videos, written guides, and member resources.

Most students start by selecting a training path that matches their goals and then follow the recommended progression. If you are not sure where to begin, our team can help point you in the right direction.
