About the fundamental positions in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Brazilian jiu jitsu is fundamentally a game of transition of positions.

We are seeking positions of maximum control like the back, from where we can exert maximum control over the opponent.

But in reality it is a dynamic game where at one moment you can be in a dominant situation and suddenly go into defense in a disadvantageous position.

The most relevant positions are:

  • Guard (Closed, Half Guard or Open (variants such as Sitting, Spider, X, de la Riva, Butterfly among others)
  • Side Control  or 100 kilos
  • Knee in the Belly
  • Mount
  • Back
  • Turtle or four points

About the blue belt requirements in brazilian jiu jitsu

The blue belt is considered by many great masters of brazilian jiu jitsu the foundation for all the evolution up to the black belt. Rickson Gracie for example has commented: “What the athlete lacks after the blue belt is practice and reflexes.

You will need to acquire knowledge and techniques of self-defense and to fight on your feet, pull and pass the guard, as well as defend

The purple belt is one of the most rewarding belts in Brazilian jiu jitsu but at the same time one of the most frustrating for many people when they don't see the brown belt coming. In our opinion, the fundamental problem with the purple belt is that it requires the development of a personal game, where each person begins to choose and perform certain techniques and combine them to make them more efficient. Whereas a blue belt knows the basics and has an arsenal of  techniques so to speak, the purple belt begins to specialize in some guard passes, takedowns, sweeps  and submissions. It is at this point where it is necessary to understand that the development of this game of combinations is something very personal and that it takes a different time for each person. Many purple belts ask teachers what they need to do to get to brown or believe that evolution depends on learning more techniques instead of polishing their techniques and combinations to make them more efficient.
