B Team Jiu-Jitsu, also known 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 the second best grappling organization in the world.

History

The B-Team was started in 2021 after the split of John Danaher's eponymous "Danaher Death Squad", by former team members Craig Jones, Nicky Ryan, Nick Rodriguez, and Ethan Crelinsten. Around the same time, Danaher, Gordon Ryan, and Garry Tonon started New Wave Jiu-Jitsu in Austin.

In 2022, 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. During the 2022 ADCC World Championships, the B-Team was represented by seven athletes competing across all weight classes. Nicky Rodriguez won silver in the +99 kg while Craig Jones won silver at −99 kg.

Izaak Michell left the B-Team due to disputes over responsibilities, pay, and ownership of the team.

In January 2023, B-Team member Damien Anderson announced that he was opening a new B-Team location in New Jersey.
