Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport created in Brazil that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is an effective self defense technique because it focuses on grappling and takes advantage of the opponent’s mistakes. BJJ also teaches you to use your opponent’s strength against him or her, which can help you defeat someone who is much stronger than you are.
BJJ can be practiced for self-defense, sport grappling tournaments, or mixed martial arts competitions.
