Have you ever done a Backbend? Maybe a wrestlers bridge? This movement is the direct counter to the hunched posture of your typical BJJ practitioner. Your ability to extend your upper back and spine is key to healthy shoulders and neck. Not only do you need to be able to go there but be strong in this acrobatic position. JT and Joey Breakdown exactly where to start if you have never done this before and if you struggle to get into the position. The Backbend is 1 of the 6 key mobility Standards in their "Standards Program" featured on the Bulletproof For BJJ App. They unpack how you can progress this movement and how you can take a potential weakness and turn it into a strength that will help your Jiu-Jitsu.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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.
