Brazilian Jiujitsu is a practical martial art which encompasses stand up grappling, ground based grappling, throws and takedowns, utilising control, leverage and positional dominance to end a match or a confrontation via joint lock,
strangle or choke.
A non reliance on strength, size or striking prowess make it well suited to self defense, where the practitioner may be smaller or physically weaker than their opponent.
Due to the competitive nature of jiujitsu training, it is also an excellent fun alternative to traditional fitness training.
