In BJJ all the techniques you learn are based on body forms. To escape a mount you shrimp, many guard techniques uses the spin etc… If you learn techniques without being able to move your body correctly then you could never applied it at 100% and your opponent will take the advantage on you.
Here for me the 5 basic body forms that you should be able to do. Of course there are many other body forms as there are thousands of different techniques. I just want to see in this article the basic one :
- Shrimp
- Bridge
- Standups
- Spin
- Roll
If you do need to remember only one of these forms then it is shrimp! It is a form you use the most in your training and your fighting.
Shrimp
Bridge
Stand Up
Spin
Roll
