Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend against a much larger, stronger opponent using joint locks and chokeholds to defeat an opponent. BJJ can be trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition.
