Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting techniques. Developed from traditional Japanese Jiu Jitsu and Judo, BJJ emphasizes leverage, technique, and the concept that smaller individuals can defend themselves against larger opponents. Practitioners learn a variety of techniques such as joint locks and chokeholds, with the goal of controlling and submitting their opponent. BJJ offers physical and mental benefits, including improved fitness and self-confidence, making it popular among practitioners of all ages and abilities.
