SUMMARY:Alan Baker's Jiu-Jitsu Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Alan ‘Dedão‘ Baker’s Jiu-Jitsu Conference 2026\nApril 17\, 2026 – April 18\, 2026\nTimes: 9-12 and 1-4 Each Day\nA Two-Day Immersion in Jiu-Jitsu In Woodstock Georgia\nJoin us in 2026 for an intensive three-day Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu event designed to expand your skills\, sharpen your timing\, and deepen your understanding of the art. This conference is built around my unique mechanical approach to grappling and Jiu-Jitsu\, developed over decades of training in multiple martial arts systems. \nOver the course of the event\, you will train in a progressive format that covers mechanics\, positional control\, transitions\, and submissions\, along with the integration of self-defense tactics for both armed and unarmed environments. Each session builds on the last\, moving from structured drills to fluid application\, ensuring you leave with both new techniques and the ability to apply them under pressure. \nThis is not a sport-only event. While the principles you will learn can enhance competitive performance\, the focus is on functional Jiu-Jitsu for all environments\, whether you are on the mats\, teaching students\, or handling a self-defense situation. \nWhether you are a dedicated student\, an instructor looking to refine your teaching\, or a practitioner seeking a deeper and more adaptable approach to Jiu-Jitsu\, this conference will challenge\, inspire\, and elevate your game. \nWhat We’ll Cover\nExact content will be adjusted to the skill level in the room\, but the training will revolve around: \n\nThe science of position: alignment\, posture\, base\, and pressure\nMovement that creates advantage: angles\, wedges\, frames\, and timing\nEscapes and recoveries that keep you from getting stuck underneath\nControl and transitions that lead to dominant positions\nHigh-percentage attacks that come from control\nSimple tactical decision-making you can use in rolling immediately\n\nWho This Seminar Is For\n\nBeginners who want a faster learning curve and fewer bad habits\nIntermediate students who want better efficiency and sharper mechanics\nAdvanced students who want higher-level problem solving and detail\nCoaches who want a structured way to teach mechanics and strategy\n\nWhat To Bring\n\nGi and belt & No-Gi (Both will be there)\nWater\nNotebook (optional)\nA readiness to train and learn\n\n  \nRegister Here: https://buy.stripe.com/eVq28r3nl3hzbUug3H7EQ0U\n  \n\n\nFeaturing Professor Alan Baker’s Living Mechanics Method\nThis year’s conference will feature special sessions taught by Professor Alan Baker\, who will present his unique method known as Living Mechanics. Developed over more than four decades of training in over 30 martial arts systems\, Living Mechanics is a principle-based approach to grappling and Jiu-Jitsu that goes far beyond memorizing techniques. \nThe method focuses on intelligent body alignment\, unitary motion\, and the ability to generate and control pressure with precision. It trains practitioners to read and respond to an opponent’s movements in real time\, adapt instantly to changes in position or resistance\, and apply these mechanics effectively in both sport and real-world self-defense situations\, including armed environments. \nLiving Mechanics offers a fluid\, adaptable\, and highly efficient approach to grappling that can elevate any practitioner’s game\, whether they are a competitor\, instructor\, or dedicated student of the art. \n\n\nAbout Professor Alan Baker\nAlan Baker is a globally recognized martial arts and self-defense instructor\, author\, and speaker. Known as the “Agent of Change\,” he has trained for over four decades and has taught professionally since 1990\, working with thousands of students over the past 30+ years. \nProfessor Baker is a 4th Degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt under Pedro Sauer\, a Full Instructor under Erik Paulson\, and a 2nd Degree Judo Black Belt under Master Bob Byrd. His approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is built on a broad base of study across multiple martial arts\, giving him a wider lens than many single-system instructors. That depth translates into a stronger understanding of the “human machine” and how to teach positioning and movement so the art works under pressure\, especially against bigger\, more vigorous opponents. \nIn addition\, Alan’s background working with law enforcement and the military\, along with 18 years as a bodyguard\, gives him a serious self-defense lens. This seminar will stay rooted in solid jiu-jitsu\, but it will be taught with the realism and accountability that comes from real-world experience. \n  \n\n\nAditional Study Options\n \nIf you want to get more out of this seminar (or show up already speaking the same language)\, you can study Professor Alan Baker’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu methods ahead of time and access supporting material through his BJJ page here: https://sifualanbaker.com/alan-baker-brazilian-jiu-jitsu/ \nThis is where you can dig into Alan’s Living Mechanics approach to Jiu-Jitsu: the core principles that make positions work\, how to build timing and pressure without relying on size\, and how Alan connects tactics\, strategy\, and body mechanics into a functional game you can actually apply. If you want to sharpen your fundamentals and get familiar with the training concepts we’ll be using at the seminar\, start there and come in ready to train. \n  \n\n  \nSchedule An Event With Professor Alan \nWe’re already booking seminars\, workshops\, and training camps for 2026. If you’re an academy owner\, program director\, or training coordinator and you’d like to host an event with Professor Alan Baker\, the best way to get the process started is to contact our Operations Director\, Jennifer Wood.
