Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is often called a game of human chess, but every chess player needs to know how the pieces move before they can think three steps ahead. The same is true on the mats. Before you can chain together intricate sweeps, transitions, and submissions, you need to drill the foundational BJJ technique<\/strong> set that has stood the test of time \u2014 from Helio Gracie’s original system to the high-level competition footage you see on FloGrappling today.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re a fresh white belt at your first Taipei academy or a blue belt looking to plug holes in your game, this guide breaks down the seven core techniques that show up in nearly every successful BJJ practitioner’s arsenal. Master these, and you’ll have the framework to learn everything else the art has to offer.<\/p>\n

Why Fundamentals Matter More Than Flashy Moves<\/h2>\n

It’s tempting to spend hours on YouTube watching berimbolos, lapel guards, and worm guard setups. But ask any black belt \u2014 including coral belts like Roger Gracie \u2014 and they’ll tell you the same thing: championships are won with fundamentals executed at a high level, not with low-percentage flash.<\/p>\n

Roger Gracie famously won multiple ADCC and IBJJF World titles with mount and back attacks. John Danaher’s competitors dominate with leg locks, but every member of the squad has rock-solid guard retention and basic positional control. The flashy moves only work when the foundation underneath them is unbreakable.<\/p>\n

The seven techniques below form that foundation. Drill them. Roll with them. Make them reflexes.<\/p>\n

1. The Closed Guard<\/h2>\n

The closed guard is the first position most students learn, and for good reason \u2014 it’s the great equalizer. From your back, with your legs locked around your opponent’s waist, you control distance, posture, and tempo. A skilled guard player can attack submissions, sweeps, and back takes from this position indefinitely.<\/p>\n
