What is Recomposition in BJJ?

Quick Definition

Adjusting your position and frames without giving up control or space.

Full Explanation

Recomposition is the act of making micro-adjustments to your body position, frames, and grips to improve your situation without making large movements that could be exploited. It is a subtle but essential defensive skill, particularly from bottom positions where large movements can be punished. Effective recomposition involves incrementally improving your frames, angles, and hip position while preventing the top player from advancing.

Examples in Context

"He kept recomposing his frames to prevent me from flattening him"

"Small recompositions can gradually improve your position"
