B Team Jiu Jitsu (stylized as B-Team Jiu-Jitsu), also known simply as The B-Team, is a submission grappling team and gym located in Austin, Texas. Led by ADCC silver medalist Craig Jones, it is regarded as one of the top grappling organizations in the world.




History


The B-Team was founded in 2021 after a split in John Danaher's Danaher Death Squad. The B-Team was initially headed by former Danaher team members Craig Jones, Nicky Ryan, Nick Rodriguez, Izaak Michell, and Ethan Crelinsten. Around the same time of The B-Team's founding, Danaher, Gordon Ryan, and Garry Tonon created New Wave Jiu Jitsu in Austin, Texas.
In 2022, The B-Team's Jay Rodriguez won the ADCC North American West Coast trials in the 88kg division, while Izaak Michell won the ADCC Asia and Oceania trials in the 99kg division. Izaak Michell later left The B-Team due to disputes over responsibilities, pay, and ownership of the team.
During the 2022 ADCC World Championships, The B-Team was represented by seven athletes competing across all weight classes. Nick Rodriguez won silver in the +99 kg while Craig Jones won silver at −99 kg. In January 2023, B-Team member Damien Anderson announced that he was opening a B-Team location in New Jersey.
From August 16–17, 2024, B-Team head Craig Jones held the Craig Jones Invitational, counterprogramming the broadcast of the 2024 ADCC World Championship.
