What is BJJ?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most effective self-defense and fighting systems in the world.
Created by the Gracie Family, it is based on the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique—most notably by applying joint locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent.
Jiu-jitsu is focused primarily on effective ground fighting. The sport has gained international popularity, particularly due to its effectiveness in mixed martial arts (MMA) competitions.
BJJ is known for its emphasis on sparring, or "rolling," which allows practitioners to practice techniques at full speed and with full resistance from their training partners in a controlled environment.
