Gracie Jiu-Jitsu

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art focused on ground fighting and leverage-based techniques. It emphasizes skill, technique, and strategy over strength, allowing smaller individuals to effectively defend themselves against larger opponents. Practitioners learn how to control, submit, or neutralize an attacker using chokes, joint locks, and positional control. Originating from Japan and popularized by the Gracie family in Brazil, it’s widely practiced for self-defense, competition, and personal fitness. The art promotes problem-solving and adaptability, making it accessible and effective for practitioners of all sizes and experience levels.
