Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on ground fighting and submission techniques. Originating from judo and traditional Japanese jiu-jitsu, BJJ places a heavy emphasis on leverage and technique, allowing smaller individuals to effectively defend themselves against larger opponents. Central to BJJ is the concept of positional dominance and the use of joint locks and chokeholds to control and submit opponents. Practitioners, known as grapplers or jiujiteiros, engage in controlled sparring sessions, called rolling, to hone their skills in a realistic setting. BJJ promotes physical fitness, mental discipline, and problem-solving abilities, making it both a practical self-defense system and a competitive sport with a global following.
