About
Digitsu BJJ Stats is the premier data analytics destination for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitors, coaches, and fans. The platform aggregates results from over 34,752 matchups across 1,758 competitions, tracking more than 14,511 athletes in both Gi and No-Gi formats. Users can filter statistics by era — All Time, Last Year, Last 3/5/10 Years, or by decade — to study how the sport has evolved. The submission distribution module reveals the most effective finishing techniques at the highest levels, breaking down armbar rates, rear naked chokes, heel hooks, triangle chokes, and dozens of other submissions with precise percentages. Athlete leaderboards rank competitors by total matchups, total wins, total submissions, and submission win rate, giving a quantitative lens on who the most active and dominant grapplers are. Beyond raw stats, Digitsu offers a BJJ Elo Rankings system that applies chess-style algorithmic ratings to grappling competition results, enabling more nuanced performance comparisons. An integrated AI-powered BJJ Chatbot lets users ask questions in natural language and receive contextual answers drawn from the database. The platform also houses a technique catalog and an events section, making it a one-stop research hub for practitioners looking to study tendencies, scout opponents, or analyze historical trends in competitive grappling.
