Dave Addict 183 posts	Thursday 3rd March 2005 at 14:22 I personally think every muscle in the body is used in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at some time or another. Too many positions moves and techniques to mention but i've found i use every muscle while sparring in BJJ. (except my love muscle);-) Fight times vary in training and competition. In training i guess you spar until your coach says stop or you get tapped out. In competition i think its 5 mins for white, 6 mins for blue, 7-8 mins for purple, 8-9 mins for brown and 10 mins for black. When Andy reads this im sure he will correct me on this as im not 100% sure. Postman Pat, Postman Pat, Post
Robsco 1319 posts	Thursday 3rd March 2005 at 19:01 Not sure about the muscle groups, but I would agree, just about every muscle you have. As for fight times, like Dave says, it depends on the fight. I think one of Helio Gracie's fights lasted over 1hr 30mins - not exactly sure, and can't be arsed to go hunting for that fact, I believe it weas the same fight that he actually had his arm broken half way through and continued to fight.

Also groin, it allows you to have stronger leg locks. Blue Belt - Gracie JJ 3rd Degree Black Belt - Shorin Ryu Red Belt w/ two stripes - Soo Bahk Do
