# 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
