What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art focused on grappling and ground fighting. It teaches you how to control and submit opponents using technique and leverage rather than strength and size. BJJ is known as "the gentle art" because it allows smaller practitioners to effectively defend against larger opponents through superior technique.
