BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU

Dayton's Finest

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport emphasizing ground fighting and grappling. Originating from early 20th century Kodokan Judo, BJJ was developed by Carlos and Hélio Gracie, adapting Judo techniques. It’s effective for smaller individuals against larger opponents through leverage and technique, focusing on joint-locks and chokeholds. BJJ is practiced for self-defense, sport grappling, and mixed martial arts. Training includes sparring and live drills, with a ranking system based on performance. BJJ, evolving from Judo, is not just a martial art but also promotes physical fitness, character development, and a lifestyle.
