Courses vs. Coaching: Understanding the Difference

Most successful BJJ coaches online do both — and they serve different markets and generate different types of revenue.

📹

Async Courses

Pre-recorded instructionals and structured courses that students consume on their own time. You record once, sell forever. Pure passive income.

  • You create it once, sell it indefinitely
  • No time zones, no scheduling
  • 85% payout on AIBJJ
  • Students learn at their own pace
  • Scalable — 1 or 10,000 students, same effort
  • Best for: technique systems, position series
🎯

Live Coaching

Real-time 1:1 or group sessions via Zoom, Google Meet, or similar. You watch footage, give feedback, answer questions, build plans. Higher value, higher price.

  • Personalized feedback and game planning
  • Higher price point ($75–$250/session)
  • Deep relationships with students
  • Requires your active time
  • Limited by your schedule
  • Best for: serious competitors, dedicated students

The play: Use AIBJJ for your async courses (passive income, 85% payout), and use Zoom or similar for live sessions. Your courses act as a funnel for live coaching — students who love your instructionals become your highest-paying coaching clients.

Using AIBJJ + Zoom: The Complete Stack

Here's how to set up a complete BJJ online coaching business using AIBJJ for your course content and Zoom for live sessions:

Step 1: Build Your Course Foundation on AIBJJ

Create 1–3 core instructionals covering your specialty area. These are the foundation of your online presence and generate passive income while you sleep. Price them at $47–$97 each. Your AIBJJ creator page becomes your homepage.

Step 2: Add a Coaching Tier

On your AIBJJ creator page, mention that you offer live coaching sessions. Link to a Calendly or similar booking system for 1:1 sessions. Price live sessions at $75–$150/hour. Group workshops (4–8 people on Zoom) at $30–$50/person are great for leverage.

Step 3: Create a Membership Option

A monthly coaching subscription ($49–$99/month) for a fixed number of video reviews or a group coaching call is highly attractive. Students submit footage, you review async via Loom or live on Zoom. Predictable recurring revenue.

Step 4: Use Your Courses to Pre-Qualify Coaching Clients

When a student emails saying they love your instructional, that's the moment to mention your coaching program. People who already trust you and benefit from your content are your best coaching clients. The course is the funnel.

Building Your Online Student Base

Your existing students and training partners are your first audience. From there:

📍 Instagram / TikTok

Post technique clips. Not full tutorials — just enough to show what you know. Include your AIBJJ creator link in bio. Reels and TikToks with technique breakdowns drive huge organic reach.

📍 YouTube

Post one free technique video per week. End every video with 'my full system is on AIBJJ.' YouTube has massive organic search traffic for BJJ technique queries — rank for your specialty.

📍 Academy Network

Tell your gym owners you coach online. They often refer their competition students to external coaches for specialized training. Have a business card with your AIBJJ creator page URL.

📍 Competition Scene

Compete consistently — even if not at the highest level. Competing builds credibility and visibility. When you medal, post about it with your creator link. Results are social proof.

📍 BJJ Community

Reddit (r/bjj), BJJ Facebook groups, Discord servers. Be genuinely helpful — answer questions, share knowledge. Don't spam links. When people see you're knowledgeable, they find you.

📍 Email List

Your email list is the most valuable thing you can build. Offer a free guide or technique PDF in exchange for email. Email subscribers convert at much higher rates than social followers.

Pricing Your Online BJJ Coaching

Underpricing is the most common mistake new online coaches make. Here's what the market supports:

ProductStarting PriceExperienced Coach
Single instructional (2–4 hrs)$47$97–$147
Full series (4+ volumes)$97$197–$297
1:1 coaching session (60 min)$75$150–$250
Group coaching session (Zoom)$25/person$50/person
Monthly coaching membership$49/mo$99–$149/mo
Competition prep intensive$150$300–$500

Note: Prices reflect the US/global market. Adjust based on your credentials and current reputation. Don't start at zero — it signals low value.
