ABOUT BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU:

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is both a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and submissions. It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend and control a bigger, stronger assailant and by using proper control, joint-locks and chokes, cause the assailant to either submit or be left in a state where they are unable to continue.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is now the fastest growing martial art in the world due to its dominance and necessity in mixed martial arts competitions such as the U.F.C. in the United States. These early mixed-martial arts competitions made the world wake up to the fact that if you don’t know how to grapple and move on the floor then you don’t know how to fight.
