Some Martial Arts Trivia:
Brazilain Jiu-Jitsu is a
martial art,
combat sport, and a
self defense system that focuses on
grappling and especially
ground fighting. The art was derived from the
Japanese martial art of
Kodokan Judo in the early 20th century, which was itself developed from a number of schools (or
Ryu) of
Japanese jujutsu in the 19th century.
It teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique-most notably by applying
joint-locks and
chokeholds to defeat the other person. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can be trained for sport grappling tournaments (
gi and no-gi) and
mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or
self defense .
Sparring (commonly referred to as 'rolling') and
live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progress and ascension through grades/belts.
