← Back to Roadmaps

Brasilian JiujitsuNewcomer

This roadmap is designed for practitioners in their first months of training. The focus is on orientation, safety, and building a basic understanding of the sport. You will learn fundamental positions, how to move on the ground, and how to train effectively with a partner. The goal is not mastery, but familiarity—developing comfort in common situations and building the confidence to participate in training.
