Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial
art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground
fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position
and using joint-locks and chokeholds to force an opponent
to submit. It promotes the principle that a smaller,
weaker person using leverage and proper technique can
successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger
assailant. BJJ can be trained for self-defense, sport
grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial
arts (MMA) competition.
Achieving a dominant position on the ground is one of
the hallmarks of the BJJ style, and the main emphasis
is to dominate the opponent through application of technique
and force them to quit (submit). By using the techniques
of BJJ, a smaller practitioner, male or female, can
control much larger and stronger opponents and actually
force the larger opponent to give up.
BJJ is proven to contain many of the most effective
self-defense techniques in the world. No other martial
art provides the level of skill, training, and knowledge
necessary to immobilize any opponent of any size and
shape.
Because of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu's unmatched success in
events such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)
and countless of other No-Hold-Barred (NHB) events across
the world, many law inforcement agencies and military
branches have adopted it into their programs.

skills, and strategies that the legendary Gracie family
