Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) evolved from Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and Judo. It was developed in Brazil by the Gracie family in the early 20th century. Carlos and Helio Gracie adapted and expanded on the techniques they learned to emphasise ground fighting and submissions. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) gained international prominence through the Gracie family’s participation in mixed martial arts (MMA) events and competitions, showcasing its effectiveness. It is a martial art and combat sport focused on ground fighting and submission holds. It emphasises technique, leverage, and positional strategy to control and submit opponents, often involving grappling and clinch work. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is practiced for physical fitness, self-defense, and as a sport. It offers a full-body workout and enhances flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. BJJ techniques are practical for self-defense, focusing on neutralising threats and escaping from dangerous situations.
