Techniques & Submissions

Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a game of positions, and the fastest way to improve is to understand the techniques that connect them. This is the Kingz library of BJJ technique guides — a growing collection of step-by-step breakdowns covering guard positions, sweeps, passes, escapes, and the highest-percentage submissions in the sport. Whether you're a white belt trying to survive your first roll or a competitor sharpening a specific attack, these guides give you the details that actually change what happens on the mat.

Start with the fundamentals: learn closed guard, the open guard, and how to control the back — then build your offense with beginner-friendly sweeps and the top submissions for beginners. From there, work into high-percentage finishes like the kimura, the americana, and the omoplata, plus takedowns even if you never wrestled.

Each guide is written to be trained, not just read — with the common mistakes, key details, and drilling tips that help techniques stick. When you're ready to sharpen how you practice, learn the difference between solo drills, technical rounds, and spar-heavy training. Work through them in order, or jump to the position you're focused on this week. New breakdowns are added regularly — bookmark this page and keep building your game.
