Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport system that focuses on grappling, especially ground fighting in a Kimono (GI traditional BJJ attire). Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was formed from Kodokan judo ground fighting fundamentals. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu eventually came to be its own combat sport.

BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves or another against a bigger, stronger, heavier assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground, and then applying joint locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments and in self defence  situations. Sparring (commonly referred to as "rolling" within the BJJ community) and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progress and ascension through its ranking system.
