BJJ is a puzzle. We mapped it.
Most BJJ resources give you techniques in isolation—here’s an armbar, here’s a sweep, here’s a guard. BJJ Graph shows you how they connect. Every position links to what comes next. Every technique shows you the full context. It’s the complete map of the grappling game.
Think of it as Wikipedia meets chess strategy for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Except instead of just articles, you get the relationships between everything—what leads where, what counters what, which paths are high-percentage and which are dead ends.
Start Here
Positions - 153 positions from Mount and Closed Guard to obscure leg entanglements like Ashi Garami and Inside Sankaku. Each one shows you where you can go and how to get there. Start with Closed Guard, Mount, or Side Control if you’re new.
Transitions - 226 techniques that move you between positions. Sweeps, passes, escapes, entries. The mechanics that actually win matches. Check out Hip Escape, Knee Cut Pass, or Bridge and Roll.
Submissions - 132 finishes with full safety protocols. Chokes, joint locks, compressions. We don’t mess around with safety—every submission page includes injury awareness and tap protocols. Rear Naked Choke, Armbar from Mount, Triangle Choke are the classics.
Principles - 120 conceptual frameworks covering everything from Base Maintenance to Hip Escape Mechanics to Creating Reactions.
Systems - 47 expert-developed systems.
Escapes - Your survival toolkit. Mount escapes, side control escapes, back escapes, guard retention. Because you can’t attack if you’re stuck on bottom getting smashed.
Guard Passing - The essential skill connecting guard positions to dominance. Pressure passes, speed passes, and why the best passers mix both.
What You’re Actually Getting
This isn’t just a technique database. Every position page includes success rate data by skill level (beginner/intermediate/advanced) and decision trees showing you what to do when things go wrong.
The content is structured as a state machine because that’s how BJJ actually works—you’re always in some position, trying to transition to a better one. We just made it explicit instead of keeping it implicit in your instructor’s head.

Good Entry Points
New to BJJ? → Closed Guard Bottom (most fundamental guard) for survival first. Also check Bridge and Roll and Frame and Shrimp.
Building your game? → Positions to see the full landscape, then dive into specific areas. Maybe Half Guard Bottom, Spider Guard, or X-Guard for your guard game. Side Control Top or Knee on Belly for top control.
Competition prep? → Position-specific pages for your weak points. Study Headquarters Position for passing, Triangle Control for submissions, Deep Half Guard for sweeps.
Just curious how it all fits together? → Principles for conceptual frameworks like Connection Principles.
153 positions. 226 transitions. 132 submissions. 120 principles. 47 systems. All interconnected. All cross-referenced. All showing you the map, not just the territory.
