Operating System

We do not use "moves." We use 5 Engineering Principles that function on every human joint. Size is irrelevant when structure is compromised.

Coupling Trap Diagram
PROTOCOL 01

The Coupling Trap (Slack Removal)

The Concept: Mechanical coupling is the elimination of "slack" between two bodies. If there is space between your chest and their elbow, force dissipates (Power Leak).

Engineering Breakdown:
In engineering, "Friction Welding" is used to join materials. In BJJ, we must glue our mass to their lever. Protocol 01 dictates that we attach our entire torso to their limb. By removing the gap, we create a unified kinetic chain.
Torque Multiplier
PROTOCOL 02

The Torque Multiplier (Fulcrum Shift)

The Concept: Torque = Force x Distance. Most grapplers apply force at the wrong point (wrist base), resulting in a 1:1 struggle.

Engineering Breakdown:
Protocol 02 requires shifting the fulcrum to the knuckles or fingers (4-inch lever) instead of the wrist base (1-inch lever). This increases mechanical advantage by 300%.
Structural Anchor
PROTOCOL 03

The Structural Anchor (Ground Wedge)

The Concept: Muscular output is finite; skeletal structure is infinite.

Engineering Breakdown:
We do not pull with biceps. We anchor our frames to the earth utilizing "Ground Reaction Force." When applying a lock, you must wedge your elbow or knee into the mat. This turns the floor into a third lever.
Geometric Bypass
PROTOCOL 04

Geometric Bypass (Angle of Attack)

The Concept: Every joint has a plane of weakness and a plane of strength.

Engineering Breakdown:
We identify the "Weak Line"—the specific geometric angle where muscular resistance is mechanically impossible (usually the 45-degree shear plane). We never attack the strength directly.
Sequential Failure
PROTOCOL 05

Sequential Linkage Failure (The Dilemma)

The Concept: Systemic overload. Creating a scenario where the defense creates the defeat.

Engineering Breakdown:
We apply Lock A to force a reaction (rotation) that exposes the angle required for Lock B. The dilemma makes escape impossible.
