The BJJ Engineer website is amazing. The resources available are comprehensive for the grappling afficionado and well-organized. Roberto takes the time and effort to demonstrate even the MOST BASIC YET OFTEN IGNORED of BJJ movements in different angles and applications. I used to be very frustrated with guard recovery against guys stronger and more advanced than me until Roberto showed me the finer points of the shoulder roll. I now have one of the better guard recovery sequences in the gym in just a short amount of time learning and applying what the BJJ Engineer taught. Quality instruction! Keep ’em coming!

Who is behind BJJEngineer?

My name is Roberto Torralbas and I'm a full time BJJ Practitioner/ Competitor/ Instructor / Coach / and School Owner making a living from what it is one of the most demanding and beautiful martial art / sport in the world. Check out my BJJ School at Third Law BJJ - Adults Program and Third Law BJJ Kids - Kids Program.

Back in 2003 I stumbled upon a small group of skinny guys doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I didn�t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. After having had some experience Judo in the past one skinny BJJ white belt tapped me many times consecutively. Since then I've become addicted to BJJ and a full time BJJ Practitioner and have decided to bring my knowledge and adventures to the web through websites like this one and also BJJEngineer.TV.
