Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a sport and martial art that relies on leverage-based techniques to allow you to overcome bigger and stronger opponents. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was developed and adapted in 1920 by the Gracie family and became an essential component in No Holds Barred fights and eventually evolved into modern day Mixed Martial Arts competitions. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques take a more gentle approach to self-defense. Relying heavily on controlling your component with pins and holds to render them defenseless on the ground. Additionally, the highlight of this system of self-defense is its submission holds which offer another way to subdue your opponent without having to kick or punch them.
