What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a complete system of self defense that works whether you're big and strong or of a small frame. It is founded upon the principles of leverage rather than power and strength.

The Benefits of Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu

Unlike many of the other martial arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has little use for strikes. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu relies on chokes, arm locks, and other submission holds so it can be practiced exactly the same way it would be in a real fight.

If the person you are facing is a friend who is temporarily out of his senses, you can control him without hurting him. However, if you are dealing with a threat to injure you or a loved one, you can apply a more suitable response level.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu offers a complete system of self defense that works whether you're big and strong or of a small frame. It is founded upon the principles of leverage rather than power and strength.
