why brazilian jiu jitsu?
Most Fights Go To The Ground!
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu focuses on close combat; predominantly combat on the ground. As the majority of fights, attacks and other self-defence situations go to the ground, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the most practical and effective form of combat and self-defence. Although Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been recognized in Brazil for its efficacy for many years, its dominance was not recognized outside of Brazil until the UFC began pitting various martial arts against each other in the early 90’s. It was within this arena that the Brazilians demonstrated to the martial art world that ground game, is the game, when it comes to self-defence and combat.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling based fighting system. In other words, punching and kicking are not essential parts of the art and the focus is ending the fight by submitting your opponent. Submissions can be in the form of chokes, arm locks, foot locks and various other techniques that effectively convince your opponent to give up or render him/herself unable to continue.
In addition to being an excellent means of self-defence, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu provides an exceptional opportunity for children and adults to physically engage on a day-to-day basis in a controlled and safe atmosphere providing an unparalleled workout.
