BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU - BJJ

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art focusing largely on grappling and ground fighting. 

It focuses on the principles of leverage and proper techniques to obtain dominant control on the ground, and provides a greater position to resolve conflicts by using submission holds.

BJJ has been proven, when used properly, to be an effective method for dealing with bigger and stronger opponents and has become increasingly popular due in part to its great success in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). A student can train in BJJ for self defense, sport jiu-jitsu (and submission grappling) and mixed martial arts competition. It has found its way into the training regiment of nearly every successful martial artist worldwide.

A martial art combat sport system that focuses on grappling- especially ground fighting. BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger, heavier assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground and applying joint-locks and choke holds to defeat the opponent. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments. 

It can be used in self-defense situations and serves its purpose well. Sparring (commonly referred to as rolling) and live drilling play a major role in training.  A premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progress and ascension through its ranking system.
