Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport and self defence system, based on grappling, ground fighting and submission holds. It focuses on the skill of taking an opponent to the ground, controlling them, gaining a dominant position and using various techniques to force them into submission via joint locks or chokeholds.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was formed in the early 20th century by Carlos Gracie, who was taught the fundamentals of Japanese Jiu-Jitsu by Master Mitsuyo Maeda. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu eventually came to be its own art through the experimentation, adaptation, and practices of Carlos, who then passed this knowledge on to his extended family.

BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique, taking the fight to the ground – most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent.

Gi and No-Gi are the two forms of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Gi Jiu-Jitsu is grappling with the use of a traditional Gi, which allows you to grab the clothing of your opponent. No-Gi is grappling without the traditional uniform - instead you wear shorts and a rash guard. In No-Gi you cannot grab your opponent’s clothing.

Mixed martial arts, commonly known as MMA, is a full-contact combat sport that allows a wide variety of fighting techniques and skills from a mixture of other combat sports. The rules allow both striking and grappling techniques whilst standing or on the ground.
