BJJTerms.com was created to be a comprehensive, user-friendly, and community-driven online glossary for the martial art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Whether you're a beginner trying to understand the difference between guard positions and mount, or an advanced practitioner looking for the details of specific BJJ submissions, our goal is to be your go-to resource for all grappling terminology.
This website was set up by the people at TryBJJToday.com to assist in the advancement of practitioners in bettering their Jiu-Jitsu and themselves. We believe that a clear understanding of the art's terminology is a fundamental step on the path to mastery.
This glossary is a living document that grows with the help of practitioners like you. By allowing user submissions, we aim to leverage the collective knowledge of the BJJ community to create a richer, more complete database for everyone to benefit from. We encourage you to submit a new term or suggest an edit. Thank you for being a part of this project.
