# Instructor Intro: Complete BJJ Technique Guide

## What is the Instructor Intro?

The Instructor Intro is a fundamental Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu technique that every practitioner should master. Whether you're a white belt just starting out or an experienced grappler refining your game, understanding the mechanics and timing of this technique will elevate your BJJ.

## How to Perform the Instructor Intro

Here's a detailed breakdown based on expert instruction:

# Instructor Introduction (Henrique Rezende)

Hello guys, my name is Enrique Rezenjee. I've been training Jiu -Jitsu since 13 years

old. So the past 27 years I've been training Jiu -Jitsu. I've been Black Belt for

16 years. I have competed my whole life pretty much since White Belt to Black Belt.

My major titles is I'm world champion in Black Belt Nogi. Also,

I'm two -time American Black Belt Nogi champion. That's my main activments.

Of course, that is other ones from every other belt that I don't need to mention

right now. My whole life, I've been training Jiu -Jitsu and actually teaching Jiu

-Jitsu. And we just created this new course for the fundamentals of JITZ AI.

This course is not really exactly the way I teach every class in our school.

It's just an overview of each position. So basically,

I explain a bit from each position. So what is an arm bar? What is the main

concept behind an arm bar? Can I do the armbar from a few different places.

So it's just an overview and trying to help you guys to understand a bit about

each movement. Okay. So that is our goal here. I hope you guys enjoy and see you

soon.

## Key Points to Remember

When drilling the Instructor Intro, focus on these essential details:

1. **Positioning** — Your body position determines your success rate

2. **Timing** — Wait for the right moment, don't force it

3. **Grip** — Secure proper grips before committing to the technique

4. **Finish** — Follow through completely once you initiate

## Common Mistakes to Avoid

Many practitioners struggle with the Instructor Intro because they:

- Rush the technique without proper setup

- Neglect the importance of base and balance

- Forget to control their opponent's reactions

- Don't drill both sides equally

## When to Use the Instructor Intro

The Instructor Intro works best when:

- Your opponent's weight distribution creates an opening

- You've set up the technique with proper grips

- You can commit fully to the movement

- You have a follow-up ready if the initial attempt fails
