The bridge and roll is a fundamental movement used in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and grappling to escape from inferior positions such as side control or mount. This technique is essential for beginners and advanced practitioners alike, as it can effectively create space and provide opportunities to regain a more favorable position.

The bridge and roll is a versatile technique in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that offers several practical applications for escaping and reversing positions during a match. Mastering this fundamental movement not only enhances one’s ability to defend against dominant positions but also contributes to a more fluid and effective grappling game. It is vital to practice and incorporate the bridge and roll into sparring to gain proficiency and understanding in its application.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
