What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport focused on grappling, leverage, and ground control. Rooted in the idea that a smaller, weaker individual can successfully defend against a larger opponent through technique and strategy, BJJ emphasizes taking the fight to the ground. Practitioners learn to control opponents, secure dominant positions, and apply submissions such as joint locks or strangles. Beyond self-defense, BJJ fosters problem-solving skills, discipline, and mental resilience, making it not just a martial art but a lifelong journey of personal growth.
