Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an elite martial
art developed by the Gracie Family of Brazil from traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu.
It was specifically designed to allow a smaller person to defeat a larger person
through the use of position, leverage and technique.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu takes a very realistic approach to self defence making it extremely effective in realistic situations.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu can be divided into three areas of practice, self defence techniques, sport techniques, and vale tudo or no holds barred techniques.
The self defence techniques are designed to deal with unexpected aggression in real life such as a fist fight or an attacker coming at you with a weapon etc.
The sport aspect of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu emphasizes technical skills with points being awarded for gaining advantageous fighting positions such as take downs, mount, back, etc. The objective is to make your opponent submit using one of a variety of techniques such as arm locks, shoulder locks, wrist locks, chokes, ankle locks and knee bars. The sporting situation gives practitioners the ability to hone their skill against a live resisting opponent.
The third way Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is practised is vale tudo, NHB or MMA. This side of the art has become very popular with television events such as the UFC and PRIDE events. In Vale Tudo students learn to defend against a well rounded skilled opponent. Competitors can use almost any type of attack and submission to try and get an advantage over their opponent.
