Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Information

What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu:
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial arts form that emphasizes ground fighting and grappling, utilizing a system of strikes, sweeps, throws, chokeholds and locks. In a match, a fighter will achieve success by gaining and maintaining advantageous positions, and bringing an opponent to submit or “tap out.” Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers many benefits to students. Not only does the martial arts form help build self-confidence and discipline, but the physical benefits reaped from regular practice are far-reaching, including improvements in strength, speed, flexibility, and endurance. It is also a highly effective form of self-defense, as a main premise is that a practitioner could force an opponent into submission, regardless of the aggressor's size, by using leverage and positional strategy.
