What is Brazilian Jiu-jitsu?
What is Brazilian Jiu-jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is praised as the only combat sport where "the little guy can win." It is particularly good for self-defense, but it is also renowned for its MMA applications. Jiu-jitsu is a grappling sport (no striking) and typically involves both wrestling and groundfighting techniques. Matches end with "submissions," which are chokes or joint-locks meant to incapacitate opponents.
