What is Transition in BJJ?

Quick Definition

Movement from one position to another.

Full Explanation

Transitions are movements between positions. High-level BJJ is about smooth transitions - mount to back, guard to sweep to pass, etc. Attacks often come during transitions when your opponent is moving and vulnerable. The "scramble" is a chaotic transition where both people are moving. Getting better at transitions means getting better at BJJ - positions are connected, not isolated.

Examples in Context

"His transitions between positions are seamless"

"I got caught during a transition"
