What Is Jiu Jitsu?

Jiu-jitsu, also known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), is a martial art form that originated in Japan and was later developed in Brazil. It is a grappling-based discipline that emphasizes leverage and technique over brute strength, making it accessible to practitioners of all sizes and skill levels.

Jiu-jitsu is primarily focused on ground fighting, where competitors use various techniques such as joint locks, chokeholds, and submissions to force their opponents to submit or score points. The goal is to either force the opponent to tap out or score more points than them.

One of the unique aspects of jiu-jitsu is its emphasis on positional control. Practitioners aim to gain and maintain dominant positions such as mount or back control, where they have the advantage over their opponent and can execute various techniques more effectively.
