What is rolling in BJJ

"Rolling"

In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), "rolling" refers to the practice of live sparring or grappling with a training partner. During a roll, practitioners aim to apply the techniques they have learned in a dynamic and resistant setting. Rolling is essential for developing timing, reflexes, and the ability to adapt to different situations on the mat. It helps practitioners improve their technique, physical conditioning, and overall understanding of BJJ. Rolling sessions can vary in intensity, ranging from light and technical to more competitive and intense, depending on the goals of the practitioners involved.
