Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a form of martial arts based on ground fighting. It chiefly involves empowering individuals with a small body mass to subdue larger opponents. The sport has its origins in Japanese Jiu Jitsu and Judo but thanks to Brazil’s Mitsuyo Maeda BJJ was established as a distinct martial art in 1925.

Unlike traditional jiu jitsu, most of the action in BJJ occurs on the ground. The sport focuses on grappling the opponent using techniques such as chokes and joint locks. As an intense body workout, BJJ enhances one’s fitness but it also sharpens body coordination. Additionally, it has positive effects such as increased self-confidence, improved body image, and stress relief.
