What is Team in BJJ?
Quick Definition
The group of practitioners who train together at an academy or affiliation.
Full Explanation
Your team in BJJ is the group of people you train with, either at your local academy or across a broader affiliation. Team bonds are strong in BJJ because you literally trust each other with your physical safety during training. In competition, you represent your team and may have teammates coaching you. Many of the deepest friendships in BJJ form through the shared experience of training together.
