Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is widely regarded as one of the most effective self-defense martial arts and combat sports. BJJ focuses on grappling and ground fighting and promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger opponent by using leverage and proper technique, most notably by applying joint locks and chokeholds until submission.
