When you break jiu-jitsu technique down to a simple level, it has two basic components.

There are the concepts which explain why things work, and then there are the movements which form the basis of how you make things work.

So if you understand concept and develop movement, you can create technique. Of course, the same could be said of other martial arts, but there is a difference.

What makes Brazilian Jiu-jitsu unique is that the community as a whole not only accepts innovation but encourages it.

Thus, you have a world that is full of possibilities. Every day you step on the mat, you can add broad strokes to the canvas. It's a process that will lead to the creation of a masterpiece that is uniquely your own.

The only limitation is the question of does it work, and on the mat you put it to the test.
