Well, what is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Jiu-Jitsu is differentiated from other martial arts by its focus on grappling and ground fighting. Most notable are the uses of chokeholds and joint locks used to submit opponents, which has earned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu a formidable reputation. Outside of the ring, it remains one of the most effective forms of martial arts on the planet for self-defense and real life combat situations. For this reason, you will find many law enforcement agencies enrolling their staff in BJJ. 

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than just a sport or combat style. BJJ training provides many incredible health benefits, both physical and mental. Staying true to its traditions, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and its philosophy continues to be a way of life, not just a martial art.
