Higher WaveNext Belt Sherpa
You don't need a new game. You need a guide.
Start here: watch the introduction.
What the Sherpa is, who it's for, and how it works.
A 1:1 mentorship for grapplers at any belt, white to black, who feel stuck, injured or plateaued. I walk with you from the belt you wear now to the next one, about two and a half years of training. Monthly calls, weekly footage breakdowns, and a body built to keep rolling.
The road between belts is long. Most people walk it alone.
Plateaus
Months where nothing seems to work, and no one has time to tell you why.
Injuries
A neck, a knee or a back that takes you off the mats, sometimes for good.
Life
Work, family and fatigue pull you away, and one missed week turns into six.
Guesswork
Class teaches techniques. It rarely teaches you how to build your game.
A sherpa doesn't climb the mountain for you. They know the route, carry some of the load, and get you to the top in one piece. That's this program.
A taste of how I teach
See a piece of my Kimura system.
This is a short cut from my free Kimura Masterclass. The full class shows the whole system: how to catch the grip, trap the arm so it can't escape, and finish from top, bottom and the back.

What's included
Everything between you and your next belt
A 1:1 call with me
We review where your game is, set the focus for the month ahead, and solve whatever is stuck.
Footage breakdown
Send me your rolls or competition matches. I break them down and show you what to change.
Strength, recovery and breathwork
Movement, conditioning, breathwork and recovery guidance from an osteopathic manual practitioner, so you can keep training.
Email support
Questions between calls get answered. You're never stuck waiting a month.
It also supports your professor. You keep showing up, you train smarter, and you're less likely to get hurt or quit. This is support alongside your academy, never a replacement for it.
Your investment
For the full mentorship, about two and a half years to your next belt. Pay once, or in 3 payments of CA$500. That works out to around CA$50 a month.
Founding members: the first 15 students join for CA$1,200 + HST, until April 30, 2027.

Questions
Which belts is this for?
Every belt, white to black. It's built for adult grapplers, gi or no-gi, who feel stuck, injured or plateaued. For black belts, the road is to your next degree.
Do I have to leave my academy?
No. The Sherpa works alongside your professor and your classes. Your academy stays home.
What if I get my belt sooner?
Then we celebrate. The mentorship covers the road to your next belt, however long it takes you.
Where are you based? Is this online?
Calls and footage reviews are online, so you can be anywhere. If you're near Toronto, we can add in-person private lessons.
