Brazilian JiuJitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on ground fighting and submission holds. It emphasizes using technique and leverage to control and submit opponents, rather than relying on size and strength. Developed from traditional Japanese JiuJitsu and Judo, Brazilian JiuJitsu is known for its emphasis on grappling and ground fighting, making it effective for self-defense and competition. Practitioners wear a gi (traditional uniform) when training and competing, and matches can be won by points, submission, or referee decision.
