The BulldozerTPCD
Drives through the guard with relentless, aggressive top pressure and no patience for stalling.
The ViseTPFA
Settles on top and slowly tightens the screws until the tap arrives. No rush, no escape.
The ExecutionerTPFD
Hunts the finish from the top with ruthless aggression. Every pass is a threat to end it.
The MatadorTSCA
Elegant, mobile passing — never where your grips expect, always a step ahead to the pin.
The CycloneTSCD
A whirlwind of fast, daring passing that spins guards apart before they can set.
The FalconTSFA
Fast, precise, and controlled — dives on the finish the instant an opening appears, then resets clean.
The HurricaneTSFD
Chaotic top-side submission hunting at a blistering pace. Wild, relentless, and always attacking.
The FortressGPCA
An immovable, patient guard built on frames and position. Impossible to rush, hard to pass.

Baits from the bottom, then spends position on a calculated shot at the sweep or reversal.
The ConstrictorGPFA
Lures you into the guard and slowly wraps you up — a patient, inescapable submission game.

The PhantomGSCA
Elusive and impossible to pin — flows out of trouble and back to position without ever forcing it.

Dynamic, deceptive bottom play — inversions and fakes that steal position and the back.
The WeaverGSFA
Chains sweeps and submissions from an active guard, threading attacks together without over-committing.

Or go deeper by style

Every type is built from concrete styles — 27 across guard, passing, submissions, takedowns, and philosophy, gi and no-gi.

Guard Players9

They fight best from their back, treating the guard as an attacking platform. Sweeps, submissions, and back-takes all launch from underneath.

Passers5

They live on top, and their whole art is getting past the legs to dominant control. The split is philosophical: crush the space, or outrun it.

Submission Hunters6

Position is a means, not the end. These players organize everything around a signature finish and chase the tap from anywhere on the mat.

Takedown & Control3

They decide where the fight happens. Grounded in wrestling or judo, they impose top position from the opening exchange and never give it back.

Style & Philosophy4

These aren't positions but temperaments — the overarching approach that colors every choice a grappler makes on the mat.
