Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Program
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
or Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
is a martial arts
discipline
indigenous to
Brazil. It was
founded and
developed by the
Gracie family.
Carlos Gracie
learned Jiu-Jitsu
from a Japanese
Judoka named Maeda
who emigrated to
Brazil. The art's
roots are derived
from pre-war Kodokan
Judo, western
wrestling, and
Maeda's own insights
into combat.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
empasizes bringing
an opponent to the
ground and then
employing grappling
techniques to subdue
the opponent.
Students utilize
holds, arm-locks,
leg-locks, chokes,
and strikes.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
takes full advantage
of body geometry and
leverage. This
strategy can
neutralize the
advantage of larger
and stronger
opponents and those
with superior
striking abilities.
