Precision in Structure & Designed for Self-Defense
The Living Mechanics Jiu-Jitsu program is designed by 4th Degree Black Belt Alan Baker with a strong focus on practicality, mechanical structure, leverage, and alignment. It is not just for the mat, but also for real-world combat scenarios. The program integrates striking and addresses weapon considerations, including Everyday Carry (EDC). Professor Alan brings a wealth of experience, having trained law enforcement, military personnel, and bodyguards, along with over three decades of training in Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and catch & submission wrestling under world-renowned instructors Master Pedro Sauer & Master Erik Paulson . By merging these disciplines, he created a unique approach to grappling that forms the foundation of the Living Mechanics Program. The curriculum is meticulously organized into four major areas of study, allowing students to gain deep, comprehensive knowledge in each area.
Built on mechanical structure, leverage, and alignment—not just strength and speed—making it effective for smaller practitioners.
More structured and organized than most programs, Living Mechanics is designed with your growth and education at its core.
The fundamental mechanics are designed for explosive striking and safeguarding your weapon system, ensuring they’re practical and effective in real combat situations.
Extensive training in hand fighting, pummeling, and the clinch, providing a comprehensive foundation in standing grappling rather than isolated outdated techniques.
Features a comprehensive drilling & Conditioning curriculum tailored to each rank level, focusing on movement, sensitivity, and timing development.
Living Mechanics encompasses training in Gi, No-Gi, and Vale Tudo (unarmed, full-contact combat), while also addressing the mechanics essential for weapon-based grappling.
You deserve self-defense training that truly works—and we can help. The Living Mechanics Archive offers a comprehensive range of grappling training, delivered through organized, high-quality video instruction.
