Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on ground fighting and submission grappling. It originated from Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and Judo, with significant modifications and innovations developed by the Gracie family in Brazil.
BJJ places a strong emphasis on leveraging technique, leverage, and strategy, allowing a smaller or weaker individual to defend themselves against a larger and stronger opponent.
BJJ practitioners aim to take the fight to the ground, where they can utilize their skills in positional control, escapes, and submissions. Unlike striking arts, BJJ focuses on clinching, takedowns, and groundwork.
BJJ emphasizes achieving dominant positions on the ground, such as mount, back mount, side control, and guard. These positions offer better control over the opponent and create opportunities for submissions.
The ultimate goal in BJJ is to force an opponent to submit through joint locks (such as armlocks and leglocks) or chokes. Submissions are applied strategically to exploit an opponent’s vulnerability.
The guard is a fundamental BJJ position where a practitioner on their back uses their legs and body to control and potentially submit the opponent. There are various forms of guards, each with its own set of offensive and defensive strategies.
BJJ training often involves live sparring sessions, commonly referred to as “rolling.” This allows practitioners to test their techniques and adapt their skills in a dynamic, unscripted environment.
While BJJ is primarily a sport, many schools also incorporate self-defense techniques, focusing on real-world scenarios where the fight may end up on the ground.
BJJ uses a colored belt system to indicate a practitioner’s skill level. The ranking typically starts with white belts for beginners and progresses through blue, purple, brown, and black belts. Black belts may have additional degrees, denoting further expertise.
