There are many different ways to use leverage in Jiu-Jitsu. For example, you can use your opponent’s weight to your advantage when you are on their guard.

2. Month One is About the Basics of BJJ
In month one of your BJJ journey, you will focus on the basics. You will learn the fundamental techniques and principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This will give you a strong foundation on which to build your BJJ game.
During this month, you will learn the following BJJ techniques:
– The fundamental guard positions (closed guard, open guard, half guard, side control, full mount, and back control)
– The fundamental escapes from bad positions (closed guard, open guard, half guard, side control, full mount, and back control)
The fundamental submissions, sweeps, and take-downs are the building blocks of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. They are the techniques that all practitioners must learn in order to be effective in this martial art.
While there are many different submissions, sweeps, and takedowns, there are a few that are considered to be the most fundamental.
The fundamental submissions are the chokes, arm locks, and leg locks. These are the techniques that are most effective in submitting an opponent. Chokes are used to restrict the flow of blood to the brain, causing the opponent to lose consciousness.
Arm locks are used to hyperextend the elbow, causing the opponent to submit. Leg locks are used to hyperextend the knee, causing the opponent to submit.
Submission or choke hold is the technique that involves grabbing a neck of an opponent and squeezing the throat to prevent breathing.
Choke holds are simple to perform but can be very effective in forcing an opponent to submit.
