What is Technique in BJJ?

Quick Definition

A specific move or sequence of moves in BJJ.

Full Explanation

Technique in BJJ refers to any specific move, submission, sweep, pass, escape, or sequence of moves. BJJ emphasizes technique over strength, believing that proper leverage and timing can overcome physical advantages. Developing good technique is the lifelong pursuit of every practitioner. The quality of technique is what separates belt levels - a black belt's armbar looks fundamentally different from a white belt's armbar due to superior technique.
