What Is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art where the aim is the control of a resisting opponent by taking them down to the ground. Once on the ground, the use of superior leverage, gripping and positioning can enable control and submission of a larger, stronger, more aggressive opponent. Although the learning of this knowledge is physically and mentally demanding, it produces greatly increased physical fitness, sensitivity, problem-solving abilities and self-awareness of body and mind
