SILVERDALE • WARKWORTH. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground, and then applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent. BJJ is not solely a martial art, it is also a sport; a method for promoting physical fitness and building character in young people and, ultimately, a way of life.
