No hidden tiers, no countdown timers. Here is the whole membership ladder, what each rung includes, and the fine print in plain English. The one exception: school engagements are scoped on a call, because every school is a different job.
Take the quiz. It reads your goals, your instincts, and your experience, then builds your Foundations plan and opens the hub. You train the real system for three weeks with nothing at stake.
Offered once, when your quiz results land: start free, or start with a coach in your corner. The Kickstart is the deep version of your first 21 days.
The whole system, for as long as it keeps earning its place in your month. Membership is where the map pays off, because the map gets better the longer your log gets.
Four common starting points, and the honest recommendation for each.
No partners, no nearby school, a garage or a living room. Start free. Your plan leans on solo and bag work, the 3D player stands in for a partner's timing, and the log proves your progress. Then use the footage review as your outside eyes. The plan is honest about the rest. Partner depth, especially in grappling, waits for a body in front of you, and it tells you what to build meanwhile.
Take the quiz and run the free 21 days first. You are testing two things: whether the teaching lands for you and whether the habit survives your week. Both answers arrive by day ten. If you want a coach checking your form from the first rep, add the Kickstart when your quiz results land.
You already have mat time and partners. What you are missing is a record and outside eyes. The footage review is built for you: send rolling or sparring from your own gym and hear what a coach outside your building sees. The free trial works too, but the review is where your money does the most.
Competitors burn the value of a footage review fastest, because you have real rounds to send and real deadlines to fix things by. Start with the Kickstart and use the coach text line hard for 21 days. If you want one set of eyes managing your whole plan, ask about 1-on-1 mentoring on the call.
Your constraint is time, so test the smallest honest dose before spending anything. Run the free trial at 12 minutes a day while the house sleeps. If the habit holds for two weeks, the Kickstart is worth it, and the plan will keep respecting your calendar after it.
The comparison that matters is not against free. It is against what serious people already spend. A single private lesson runs $75 and up. A name-brand instructional runs $67 to $349, and it cannot see you. The live review alone matches the private lesson. The tailored plan replaces the instructional. The coach text line is not for sale anywhere on its own. All of it costs $49, and the guarantee below removes the rest of the risk.
You film 1 to 3 minutes of yourself training: shadowwork, drilling, rolling, bag work, whatever your plan calls for. Phone quality is fine. Propped on a bag is fine. You send it through the hub and book your slot. The coach reviews it with you live: what is working, the one thing to fix first, and what your map says to open next. You leave with your plan adjusted and a recording of the call.
Buy the Kickstart and the hub opens your deep quiz, your upload slot, and the review calendar. Film when ready, within your 21 days, and book early: Matt's calendar caps the slots. Film whatever your plan calls for, striking rounds, drilling, or the drill your daily card gave you. The coach would rather see one honest minute than three rehearsed ones.
Right now: Matt Bryers, the founder. 25+ years on the mat, 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Rafael Formiga Barbosa. As Kickstart volume grows, reviews expand to the named TRITAC coaching staff, and you will know, by name, who watched your footage.
Your Kickstart card rolls into the $49/mo membership at day 21 unless you cancel first. One email cancels it. If you continue, your quarterly footage reviews continue with it. The coach relationship you started on day one does not end when the Kickstart does.
The real alternative to TRITAC is not a local gym. If you have a good gym, keep it, log it, and let the hub work beside it. The real alternative is the instructional library, so that is the comparison worth printing.

Fair note: a great instructional goes deeper on a single topic than any system can. Plenty of our members own them. The difference: a library is a book collection. TRITAC is the school that teaches you which book to open, tracks whether you read it, and checks your homework.
Ongoing private coaching for members who want a dedicated eye on their development: regular footage reviews, a personally managed plan, and direct access. Limited seats by nature. Ask on your Kickstart call.
Periodic immersion weekends in Cromwell. Three days on the mat with the coaches, the system trained live at full depth, with members flying in from wherever they train. Announced to members and the email list first.
We map your school's curriculum and library into a connected system your students train in, under your name. Your curriculum stays yours. The details live here.
Your rate is locked at the price you joined at. New material lands inside it, not behind a higher tier, and the counts on this page grow every week. That discipline cuts both ways: if the only path to more revenue is keeping members training, the product has to keep earning its month. That is the deal we want to be held to.
About 2 minutes. Six questions. A plan built around your answers, free for 21 days.
