Jiu-Jitsu
Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that primarily focuses on grappling and ground fighting techniques. It emphasizes skill and technique over brute strength, allowing practitioners to control and submit opponents through a variety of joint locks and chokeholds. Jiu-Jitsu training includes drilling techniques, sparring (rolling), and often incorporates elements of self-defense.
Originating from traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and refined in Brazil, Jiu-Jitsu is known for its effectiveness in real-life self-defense situations as well as in competitive environments. It caters to individuals of all ages and skill levels, making it an inclusive sport that promotes physical fitness, mental discipline, and community camaraderie.
