Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is both a martial art combat sport, and a self defense system. Jiu-Jitsu focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. It teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant.
Description
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu emphasizes taking an opponent to the ground and utilizing ground fighting techniques and submission holds involving joint-locks and chokeholds also found in numerous other arts with or without ground fighting emphasis. The premise is that most of the advantage of a larger, stronger opponent comes from superior reach and more powerful strikes, both of which are somewhat negated when grappling on the ground.
Dedication
Once the opponent is on the ground, a number of maneuvers are available to manipulate the opponent into a suitable position for the application of a submission technique. Achieving a dominant position on the ground is one of the hallmarks of Jui-Jitsu, and includes effective use of the guard position to defend oneself from the bottom, and passing the guard to dominate from top position with side control, mount, and back mount positions.
