Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art focused on grappling and ground fighting techniques. It emphasizes leverage, technique, and positional control to subdue or submit an opponent, often through chokes and joint locks. BJJ practitioners train in controlled environments, practicing submissions safely, and develop skills in leverage and timing rather than brute strength. It is widely used for self-defense, competitive sport, and fitness, promoting problem-solving and physical conditioning. Its core philosophy is empowering smaller or weaker individuals to defend themselves effectively against larger opponents through technique and strategy.
