Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position from which to force an attacker to submit. The system is based a modified version of traditional Japanese Ju jutsu called "Jiu-do" or "Judo" which is based on the idea of soft overcoming the hard. In other words, smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique to defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition. Sparring and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition. Today, the major difference of Gracie/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu styles lies between Helio Gracie's Traditional Gracie Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense and Sport Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu designed for point competition. As a student, make sure to verify the credentials, lineage, and background of your possible instructors. » More Info on BJJ
