About Submission Saga: The Jiu Jitsu RPG

Submission Saga: The Jiu Jitsu RPG drops you in as a white‑belt novice and guides you toward a world‑championship black belt. The game blends top‑down pixel exploration with turn‑based Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu combat, letting you train, level eight BJJ stats, and unlock techniques as you progress. Beyond the gym, you can wander cities, forests, and hidden areas, run businesses, adopt pets, and compete in tournaments that culminate in a World Championship arena. Multiplayer ranks let you face friends or random opponents online.

01 / THE GUIDE

Climbing the Belt Ladder

The game features a belt progression from white, blue, purple, brown, to black. Each promotion unlocks new positions, tougher opponents, and larger paydays, giving a clear sense of advancement. Advancing belts also expands the move pool, as new techniques become available through training, quests, or competition victories.

  • Observe how each belt adds positions before tackling tougher opponents.
  • Compare the pay increase after each promotion to gauge economic growth.

02 / THE GUIDE

Eight Real BJJ Stats

Players develop eight distinct statistics: Guard, Passing, Submissions, Escapes, Wrestling, Cardio, Strength, and Leg Entanglements. These stats influence combat outcomes and training options. Improving stats is done by lifting, cardio, and focused gym sessions, letting you shape a personalized grappling style.

  • Balance Guard and Passing to avoid weak spots in matches.
  • Track Cardio growth alongside Strength as you train.

Custom Move Creator

The Custom Move Creator lets you design signature submissions by combining elements from the 90+ moves and 19 positions. This tool supports personal style experimentation. Created moves offer a way to differentiate yourself from other fighters.

  • Test new moves in low‑risk fights before tournament play.
  • Experiment with positions that suit different archetypes.

04 / THE GUIDE

Business Ownership

Outside training, you can run an Açai Stand, Laundromat, or your own Training Gym. Each business has three upgrade tiers that generate passive income while you play. Income from these ventures adds a strategic economic layer to the RPG.

  • Upgrade the gym early to grow its passive income.
  • Compare income rates between the Açai Stand and Laundromat for best returns.

05 / THE GUIDE

Ranked Online Play

The game includes ranked online matches where you can challenge a friend or queue for random opponents. Matches follow the same turn‑based BJJ system with simultaneous resolution. Ranked play adds a competitive edge, letting you test your belt level and custom moves against real players.

  • Review opponent archetype trends before queuing.
  • Use your custom submissions to surprise ranked opponents.
