Build your strength base
No one ever lost a roll for being too strong. Foundation builds a fresh, confident base of strength and power — the platform every other BJJ Strong program is built on.
benefit-image-1
Learn the lifts, then load
A patient, approachable progression — Learn, Build, Progress. Groove the movements with a demo on every lift, build a base, then add load as your technique and confidence grow.

Choose your schedule
Choose the 2-day or 3-day version — sold separately — to match your week. Short, superset-driven sessions keep each one doable — around 45–60 minutes, around a full mat schedule.

Programmed by a competing coach
Every movement earns its place by transferring to grappling, written by a coach who competes. Beginner-friendly, full-body and built to fit around your mat week, not steal your recovery.

FAQs
Who is BJJ Strength Foundation for?
Beginners and anyone newer to lifting — it's the ideal starting point, from day-one white belts up. If you already have solid lifting experience, BJJ Strong is the heavier next step.
How many days per week is it?
This page is one version — 2-day and 3-day are sold separately, so pick the one that fits your week. Around 45–60 minutes a session, full-body and superset-driven, across a 12-week block.
Can I run this while training jiu-jitsu?
Yes — it's built to. Approachable, full-body and superset-driven, so it flexes around your mat week and leaves room for class and sparring.
What equipment do I need?
Standard gym kit — barbell, plates, a rack, a bench, dumbbells, a kettlebell and bands. Every lift has a demo video, and most movements have substitutions.
Is it beginner friendly?
Yes — this is our most beginner-friendly program, designed for first-time lifters to build a confident strength base before heavier blocks.
What happens after I buy?
You get instant access in the TrainHeroic app. Log workouts, track loads, hit rest timers and watch a demo of every movement from your phone.
