What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)?
Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art that focuses on grappling and ground fighting, teaching practitioners how to control and submit opponents through leverage and technique rather than strength. Originating from Japan and further developed in Brazil, BJJ emphasizes using proper technique to defend and overcome larger, stronger opponents.
It’s an effective martial art for self-defense and a great way to stay in shape. Training in BJJ not only enhances your physical fitness but also boosts your mental resilience and problem-solving skills.
