Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique – most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self defense. Sparring (commonly referred to as “rolling”) and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progress and ascension through its ranking system.
BJJ has become the most in demand martial art because of its practicality in everyday life and usage in the MMA world. BJJ gives you the chance to learn self defense while gaining strength, mobility, flexibility, balance and STILL having fun!

Muay Thai became widespread internationally in the twentieth century, when practitioners defeated notable practitioners of other martial arts.

It can be played anywhere, but it’s usually done in a roda.
