Understanding Frames in Jiu-Jitsu

In Jiu-Jitsu, frames are essential defensive structures used to manage distance between you and your opponent. These frames act as barriers to prevent your opponent from closing the space, particularly from inferior positions like bottom side control. Effective frames involve using body parts strategically, such as arms, legs, or even the head, as barriers. However, it is crucial to ensure that frames are not easily attacked or compromised, emphasizing the importance of safe and solid framing techniques.
