This app covers a complete system for learning BJJ. It starts with the Roadmap concept so that you get the complete big picture of the art of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (along with the concepts, techniques and strategies used by almost every advanced player). I want you to know the ‘why, where, when, who and what’ of everything you learn in BJJ, which is why in this app we cover: - Why certain techniques work better than others. - Where your arms and legs MUST be to avoid giving your opponent an easy submission!f - When is the best time for trying specific moves? - Who is best suited for certain positions and submissions? - What the critical take-home details are, without which your technique just won’t work! Many BJJ students never end up learning the fundamentals of the art properly because these basics are so ‘obvious’ to their instructors that they don’t bother to pass them on to their students. But if the concepts, strategies and tactics of BJJ get laid out for you in a clear, concise and interesting manner (instead of you having to figure it all out through trial and error) then your skills will literally jump to a new level overnight.
