What are the benefits of using the Universe?
Exposure to new techniques you didn't know existed
Our comprehensive database contains thousands of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques that span decades of the sport's evolution. Many practitioners remain trapped in the same 20-30 moves they learned in their first year, never discovering the rich tapestry of techniques developed by world champions and innovators.
By exploring the Submitsu Universe, you'll encounter submissions, escapes, and transitions you never knew existed. Each technique is connected to others through our intelligent mapping system, showing you how moves evolve and transform based on your opponent's reactions. This exposure broadens your technical vocabulary and gives you the confidence to attempt moves that seem intimidating at first glance.
Increase knowledge with a wealth of knowledge
Knowledge compounds in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - each technique you learn opens doors to understanding multiple related concepts. Our Universe doesn't just show you isolated moves; it reveals the underlying principles, mechanics, and strategic thinking that connect everything in BJJ.
You'll gain deeper insights into why certain techniques work in specific situations, how guard play transitions to submissions, and how escapes lead to counters. This holistic understanding transforms you from someone who knows techniques to someone who understands the game at its fundamental level. The wealth of knowledge available here will accelerate your growth and help you make more informed decisions on the mat.
Solidify while watching the best instructional videos from around the web
Learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu requires seeing techniques demonstrated by experts, but finding quality instruction scattered across YouTube, private sites, and DVDs can be overwhelming. We've curated and organized the best instructional content from world-class instructors, making it easy to find demonstrations that match your current skill level.
Each technique in our Universe links to carefully selected videos that show proper execution, common mistakes, and advanced variations. This focused learning approach helps you solidify your understanding through visual learning, ensuring you develop proper technique and muscle memory. The combination of our structured database and expert demonstrations creates an unparalleled learning experience.
Quick decision making from using the explore tool
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a game of chess played at high speed, where split-second decisions determine victory or defeat. Our interactive explore tool trains your pattern recognition and decision-making abilities by presenting you with realistic scenarios and guiding you through optimal pathways.
Rather than memorizing static sequences, you'll learn to think dynamically, adapting to your opponent's movements and finding creative solutions to complex positions. This tool transforms theoretical knowledge into practical intuition, helping you make better decisions under pressure. The more you explore, the more instinctive your responses become, giving you a significant advantage in live rolling and competition.
