Remember what you learned in BJJ class
BJJ Graph is a free Brazilian jiu-jitsu study app that connects positions, techniques, escapes, and submissions in an interactive map. Use it between classes to revisit a move, understand what comes next, and test your memory with flashcards and simulated rolls. It runs in your browser on a phone or computer. You can start without an account.
Find a useful starting point
- “I keep forgetting techniques after class.” Look up the position or move you practiced, review its explanation, and use the flashcards to check what you remember.
- “I’m new to BJJ. What should I learn?” Start with the position guides and position before submission. Use the principles to connect unfamiliar technique names to common ideas.
- “I get stuck underneath mount.” Open mount from the bottom to explore the position and connected escapes. For side control, start with side control from the bottom.
- “How do I connect my techniques?” Follow the map from a position into a move and its possible outcomes, or explore systems of related techniques.
The whole Brazilian jiu-jitsu game, mapped as one graph
Explore positions from both sides: mount changes from top to bottom, while closed guard gives the person underneath attacking options. Follow transitions such as the knee slice pass into their possible next positions, or explore submissions such as the rear naked choke from back control.
Principles explain shared mechanics; systems connect techniques into game plans. Start with the learning articles.
Questions before you start
Is BJJ Graph free? Do I need an account?
BJJ Graph is free and currently in beta. Public guides and study tools are available without signing in. Your study progress stays in your browser. Optional Google or email sign-in lets you sync progress across devices. See the terms and privacy policy for details.
Is it useful for beginners?
Beginners can use BJJ Graph to learn position names and revisit ideas from class. More experienced grapplers can explore connected techniques and systems. Start with a position you already practiced, then review a small number of related moves.
Can it replace classes or predict whether a technique will work?
Use BJJ Graph alongside instruction at a BJJ academy. Reading, flashcards, and simulated rolls help with study; they do not replace coached practice. The graph’s probabilities are model estimates, not measured success rates for you or guarantees about a real roll. Content is under active development and can contain errors.
