What Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)?
BJJ is a grappling-based martial art, often called the “gentle art”, that focuses on submissions, joint locks, and control techniques rather than brute force. Originating from Judo and traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, BJJ evolved in Brazil into its own modern, highly effective combat system.
Classes are taught in the traditional Gi (kimono), which allows for grip-based control, unique submissions, and highly technical exchanges on the ground.
