Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a ground-based fighting system that relies on leverage, technique, and submissions to defeat an opponent. It emphasises the use of chokes, joint locks, and other submission holds to force an opponent to surrender. BJJ also incorporates throws and takedowns to bring the fight to the ground, where the majority of techniques are applied. It is widely recognised as one of the most effective forms of self-defence and is commonly seen in mixed martial arts competitions.
