What are the Fundamentals of Jiu Jitsu?

I ask, "How do I suck less at Jiu-Jitsu."

Everyone says, "Focus on the basics." What does that mean? Is it like when you're 6 and ask where babies come from and your mom says, "you'll find out when you're older."

Are we just not smart enough to know the basics?

Well, I have a theory on what the basics actually are and why everyone's answers to "the basics" are different.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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