BJJ Grrl

Lists of and links to the techniques I’ve learned in class, mostly so I can find them again! These are listed newest first. Names may not match what you’ve been taught, but then, we aren’t usually told the names for anything; we’re just taught to do it. Techniques without links are those that still reside only in my notebook; I’ll try to get them posted online or linked to a description eventually.

See slidey’s Jiu-Jitsu Glossary for terms.
