A Systematic Masterclass with Jon Thomas
Join us for an opportunity to learn from one of the most respected minds in modern grappling, Jon Thomas.
A black belt under Lucas Lepri, Jon is known worldwide for his analytical approach to teaching. With a background in engineering, he’s built a reputation as one of the sport’s clearest thinkers - bridging the gap between athlete and educator.

Passing Systems Based on Reaction Timing Build decision trees that evolve dynamically with your opponent’s responses.
Grip Fighting Frameworks Learn the hidden geometry of control - how micro-adjustments shape tempo and initiative.
Jon’s teaching is concept-based - He breaks down why positions work before teaching how to execute them, transforming technique into transferable understanding. His method has helped countless black belts and coaches rethink how they approach control, pressure, and decision flow.
Join us on the 6th and 7th of December for two days of structured, concept-driven learning, where Jon breaks down the systems that shape high-level decision-making.
