What is BJJ?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or BJJ, is a martial art, combat sport, and self-defense system that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. It is a system that allows a smaller, weaker person to successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique. BJJ is not only used for self-defense but also for sport grappling tournaments and mixed martial arts competition.
