Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling martial art, like wrestling or judo – it involves no striking.
Jiu-jitsu focuses on controlling an opponent’s movement and the application of fight-ending strangles and joint-locks.
The sport gained popularity after establishing itself as the foundational grappling art in MMA, but is also trained for fitness, self-defense, and recreation.
Jiu-jitsu is a sport both broad and deep, practiced by millions of men, women, and children around the world.
