What is BJJ?

BJJ is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling, and especially ground fighting, with the goal of gaining a dominant position and using joint-locks and chokeholds to force an opponent to submit. As most real fights end up on the ground, BJJ's main aim is to takedown an opponent and use proper technique and leverage to counter strength and aggressiveness.

This fighting style is proven to be the most effective known. This is evidenced by it's success and prominence in such limited rules mixed martial events as UFC, Pride FC, Vale Tudo and others.
