Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling especially ground fighting with the goal of
gaining a dominant position and using joint-locks and chokeholds to force an opponent to submit. The system was developed
from a modified version of pre-World War II Judo including some techniques from Japanese Jujutsu, which came via those
techniques being incorporated into Kodokan Judo and with a focus on ne-waza (ground technique). It promotes the principle
that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend themselves against a bigger,
stronger assailant.
BJJ can be trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition.
Sparring (commonly referred to as 'rolling') and live drilling play a major role in training and a premium is placed on performance
especially in competition. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is primarily a grappling martial art with limited striking from standing position.
Striking is more focused on the ground where leverage allows the practitioner to apply more power in the strikes. BJJ techniques
and strategies deeply are rooted in the science of ground fighting. A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner will attempt to bring his
opponent to the ground and then obtain a dominant position there. Once in this dominant position, the Jiu-Jitsu practitioner can
choose from a wide arsenal of joint locks, chokes and strikes with which to subdue his attacker.
