Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu applies the principles of balance, leverage, and momentum to overcome opponents. It uses an attacker’s energy against them rather than directly opposing it. This is in contrast to many other martial arts that emphasis power, strength, and speed. BJJ utilizes all forms of grappling techniques including throwing, trapping, joint locks, holds, striking, and kicking.
