In Bjj you can fight on your back or get your enemy on their back or others positions to lock choke pin or snap a leg or arm off. (Take note in Bjj you are mostly on the ground not standing.)

How many belts are there in jujitsu?

At a dojo that i know of, they have this belt order: For kids: White White/yellow stripe White/orange stripe White/green stripe Then they stay there until 16 and then get a blue belt. If they have been there for a long time, they can skip to purple. For 12 to 17: White Yellow Orange Green Stay until they are 16, then: Blue Purple Brown Possibly black if they are good enough then black/red squares Then red For adults: White Blue Purple Brown Black Black/Red squares Red But you have to get four stripes on each belt to move to the next one. Hope I Helped!!
