What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the fastest growing and the most effective martial art in the world. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or BJJ is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defence system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. The art was derived from the Japanese martial art of Kodokan judo in the early 20th century, which was itself developed from a number of schools (or Ryu) of Japanese jujutsu in the 19th century.
It teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique - most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person.
What is MMA or Mixed Martial Arts?
Mixed Martial Arts or MMA is a combination of ground work, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Wrestling, mixed in with the effective use of striking, using Boxing and Muay Thai kickboxing.
