Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Women
What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a self-defence martial art
and combat sport based on grappling, ground fighting and submission
holds. BJJ focuses on the skill of taking an opponent to the ground,
controlling one's opponent, gaining a dominant position, and using a
number of techniques to force them into submission via joint locks or
chokeholds.
BJJ revolves around the concept, taken from traditional Japanese
jūjutsu, that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend
themselves against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent by using
leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the ground and
using a number of holds and submissions to defeat them. BJJ training can
be used for self-defense situations and as a method of promoting
physical fitness, building character, and as a way of life.
