Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting techniques to gain a dominant postition over an opponent and force them to submit by using joint locks and chokeholds. BJJ also promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themself against a bigger, stronger attacker by using leverage and proper technique.

Training includes technique drills which are practiced against a non-resistant partner, situational drills where certian techniques are practiced against full resistance, and full sparring where each practitioner tries to submit their opponent.
