What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ)?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on the use of leverage, technique and submissions to defeat an opponent. It is a ground-based fighting system that emphasizes the use of chokes, joint locks and other submission holds to force an opponent to tap out, or surrender. BJJ also incorporates throws and take-downs to bring the fight to the ground, where the majority of the techniques are applied. It is considered one of the most effective forms of self-defense and is widely used in mixed martial arts (MMA) competitions. BJJ also emphasizes the importance of discipline, respect and humility, making it a great activity for people of all ages and skill levels, who are looking to improve themselves physically, mentally and emotionally.
WARNING! Training in the art of BJJ is highly addictive!!
