Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art focusing largely on grappling and ground fighting. It utilises natural body leverage and proper technique to obtain dominant control on the ground and, as a result, provides greater positions for striking or submission holds.
BJJ has been proven, when used properly, to be an effective method for dealing with bigger, stronger opponents and has become increasingly popular. It can be trained for self defence and sport grappling.
Translated as “the gentle art,” Brazilian jiu-jitsu focuses on using strength and technique in the most efficient way possible to control and overcome opponents of greater size, strength and aggression.
