How it works
The BJJ Journey Score works like a self-assessment. You will evaluate yourself according to our 8 Foundations of Jiu-Jitsu. These include: Awareness, Survival, Escapes, Control, Guard, Guard Passing, Submissions and Takedowns.
Note: assess yourself as if you are rolling with some who is one belt higher than you.
Note: the more you think about your answers the better the outcome. Don’t waste your time if you think your Jiu-Jitsu is PERFECT.
Meet Will & Nathan, the Aussies that founded the BJJ Project. Will (left) is a Black Belt and Nathan (right) is a Purple Belt.
They came together in 2023 over a cold beer discussing the problems and experiences of being a student and a coach.
The problem of the student is feeling stuck and not knowing what to do to progress.
The problem of the coach is knowing how their students feel about their Jiu-Jitsu and what they struggle with.
They came up with the BJJ Journey Score to solve both. The rest is history.
Why we made it
Here’s what you get when you do the BJJ Journey Score
✔️ A map of your Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals - use it to identify your areas of weakness and strengths
✔️ A baseline for improvement - you will get a score that you can use to compare yourself in the future. We recommend re-doing the BJJ Journey Score every 6 weeks.
✔️ A plan for progress - you will see exactly what area you should focus on for improvement e.g. escaping side control.
✔️ Something to give your coach - many students give their results to their coach for review. See what they think and what they recommend.
✔️ Connection to your journey - feel like you are in the driver’s seat of your Jiu-Jitsu journey.
✔️ Access to the BJJ Journey Dashboard - once you’re done your results will be put into your own custom dashboard. This will be your north star for Jiu-Jitsu progress.

What is the Journey Dashboard?
The Journey Dashboard is linked to your BJJ Journey Score results. It contains three main parts:
What you need to work on to improve
What you need to know to improve
How you know if you are progressing
Let’s say escaping side control is your biggest weakness. The Dashboard will give you recommended help videos so you can start improving. It will also give you a checklist to complete so you know you are improving. This will give you focus for your training.
We made the Journey Dashboard as a way for students to take ownership of their Jiu-Jitsu. We know that everyone wants to improve but they don’t exactly know how to.
A lot of students believe if you show up to training you will get better. We don’t think so. Otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people who feel stuck and frustrated!
We believe if you have a plan for your Jiu-Jitsu you will improve 10x faster and enjoy the journey a whole lot more!
Why we made it
It’s True. We don’t like BJJ Fanatics. Here’s why:
It sounds aggressive but it’s true. We found that spending $900 on John Danaher and Gordon Ryan to learn how to pull off fancy footlocks and armbars is a wonderful way to waste time and hurt your bank account.
It’s not because they don’t know what they are talking about, it’s because for most students it’s not what they need.
If you can’t escape side control against a higher belt you do not need a 3 hour leg lock instructional. You need to get the fundamentals right.
We know Jiu-Jitsu is largely made up of hobbyists. People who go to training because they enjoy Jiu-Jitsu. They don’t want to become world champions. They want to train safely, get their next belt, roll regularly and maybe do a local competition.
We are here for those students.
We like simple content that’s straight to the point.
Does this sound familiar? You watch 3 hours of an instructional to get 1 or 2 things out of it. We do thing differently. We structure our content differently.
Take ownership of your Jiu-Jitsu
Do you remember what you were taught two weeks ago in class?
Do you have a plan for progress in your Jiu-Jitsu?
Most of the students we talk to can’t answer these two questions. It’s not their fault. There are too many techniques and positions that you learn if you regularly attend training. A lot of it ends up in the trash can.
The Journey Dashboard simplifies your Jiu-Jitsu goals and empowers you to train like you mean it! It brings a focus to your training by motivating you to work on your areas of focus in fundamental areas. You will get help from our Super Coaches so you can start improving today. You will be able to track your progress, record training notes and see what others are working on.
