Brazilian Jiu Jitsu:
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art that mainly addresses ground fighting. BJJ emphasises technique, leverage, planning, and conditioning rather than strength and power.
BJJ uses the strength, energy, and power of your opponent to your advantage. Capitalising on the power and direction of force your opponent is applying, the BJJ exponent is able to manoeuvre himself into a superior position to win the contest.
The BJJ practitioner is comfortable fighting from any position on the ground and use combination of chokes, arm locks, knee locks, ankle locks, and other moves to force their opponent to submit. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu exponent is comfortable fighting from his back in a position is known as the guard. Knowing how to move from this position can be of great benefit in a real situation for both men and women.
