Explore 84 core techniques in Brazilian jiu-jitsu — sorted by category, complexity and gi/no-gi. Tap a category to see every technique inside.
Guard is the foundation of BJJ — how you control an opponent from your back.
Passes are techniques for getting past the opponent's guard into a dominant position.
Sweeps let you reverse from the bottom to the top without standing up.
Submissions end the match via chokes or joint locks.
Takedowns are techniques for moving the fight from standing to the ground.
Escapes help you out of bad positions like mount, side control and submissions.
Techniques that don't fit the main categories.
Position is orthogonal to category — a sweep can start from closed guard, half-guard or butterfly. Pick a position to see every technique from there.
