Abstract

Background. This research is characterized as an applied technological and descriptive study that addresses the following aspects: development of technical-tactical modeling, description, and correlation of actions in the context of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) combat. Aims. The present study aims to create and validate the Frami software with a BJJ technical-tactical analysis protocol. Methods. From 2,607 BJJ matches, considering all weight divisions, ranked as the best in the world and qualified for the 2018 and 2019 Abu Dhabi Professional Jiu-Jitsu World Championships, 20 Jiu-Jitsu combat presentations were selected, and used in two moments (First analysis x same analysis after 24 hours). The indicators were identified in previous reports (i.e., approach phase, gripping, guard, mounting, attack/ defense phase, and low-intensity movement phase). The model was performed intra- and inter-specialist validation, p?0.05. Results. The general average level of Reliability among all evaluators when classifying the phases of the combat and technical actions of the athletes subdivided by stage resulted in Alpha 0.90 (0.86; 0.93), classified as excellent. Conclusion. In developing the specific instrument for the BJJ, we suggested nine BJJ combat phases. Thus, this instrument is a pioneer technical-tactical tool in BJJ and could help coaches and athletes to develop new contextual training based on detailed analysis. © Yoshin Academy
