Essential Elements of BJJ

Hello blog readers and my fellow bloggers. It's another great day and I want to share with those who are not aware of specific elements involved with jiu jitsu. In past posts I granted my readers, mine and others' perceptions as to the benefits of practicing this martial art.

I think it only fair that next in my series of insights, I go over the positional hierarchy in the world of Brazilian jiu jitsu. Here is an example:

Most of these positions are easy to comprehend by name, however, in my school we use the term knee-on-belly instead of kneeride. And as far as Turtle is concerned, think of being in the fetal position only instead of being on your side, you're on your legs and arms with your head tucked, kind of like a turtle.

I found this flow chart and have to admit, it's a great idea to develop a personalized flow chart. Here it is:

Last thing, I want to note that this is said to be a flow chart made by BJJ's very own legendary Rickson Gracie.
