How we teach
This is what
high-level training
actually looks like
Nicholas Meregali is one of the most decorated and analytically minded grapplers in the world. His teaching is not a watered-down version of what he does, it is the full system, applied to the practitioner in front of him. Advanced students at ALKIMI train inside that system.
The curriculum at this level is built around deep positional mastery, not just knowing how to pass a guard, but understanding every variation, every counter, every setup that leads to and from it. Students are expected to train with intensity and to bring that same analytical mindset to every session.
Acceptance into the Advanced program is based on readiness, not just belt rank. Our coaching staff will work with you to determine the right placement and help you understand exactly what that next stage of training demands.
