Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, what is it?
Ju-jitsu or jiu-jitsu means "art of flexibility" in Japanese. Formerly it was practiced almost exclusively in Brazil. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the fastest growing forms of unarmed combat in the world. In fact, young people from all over the world come to Rio de Janeiro to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a wrestling sport and a martial art based on ground control and submission techniques. The objective is to neutralize his opponent by using techniques on the ground to obtain dominant positions or submissions (joint lock, strangulation, muscle compression). The objective is to force his opponent to abandon the fight without having to land the slightest blow. Brazilians consider jiu-jitsu a "soft art", others liken it to a "physical chess game" because blows are forbidden.
