BJJ

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and self-defense system that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. It emphasizes technique and strategy, allowing smaller, weaker individuals to defend against larger opponents by using leverage and joint locks. Practitioners learn to control and submit their opponent from various positions, fostering discipline, respect, and mental resilience. BJJ is not only a competitive sport but also a popular fitness activity and a way to build confidence and self-defense skills. Training often involves sparring, known as "rolling," allowing practitioners to apply techniques in a live setting.
