This means that new BJJ techniques, positions and strategies are being developed all the time.

In the last 10 years a whole new aspect of jiu-jitsu has developed around positions like the berimbolo, the crab ride and the rolling backtake.
The Emphasis is on Taking the Back

The best position in jiu-jitsu is to be on your opponent’s back in rear mount.

Once there you control the fight. You’re completely safe and can finish him at will with chokes and armlocks.

(It’s for this reason that taking the back is rewarded so highly in the BJJ point system.)

Contrary to common belief there are now MORE submissions in high level competition than there were 10, 20 or 30 years ago. And more people getting to the back is a big part of the reason why.
Taking the Back is Changing.

Taking the back has been around since the beginning of jiu-jitsu, but ways of getting there are now much more sophisticated, powerful, and effective.

New strategies and transitions have been developed. New entries have been created and setups have changed. And technical details have been added so that you can now apply the techniques with much less strength.

You see these new techniques in every high level competition, in both gi and no gi, all over the world. And knowledge of them is often the difference between success and failure!

In a sport changing as fast as BJJ you want to be on the cutting edge. If you don’t evolve with the art then you’ll be left in the dust.
