About Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Comment Posted by JitsuGuy on May 16, 2008
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a cutting edge fighting art developed Kodokan Judo by the Gracie family of Brazil. Even though Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu contains standup techniques for winning a fight, it is famous for its devastating ground fighting techniques. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was specifically developed to allow a smaller person defeat a larger person by sophisticated application of leverage and technique. Gaining superior position on your opponent and applying a myriad of chokes, holds, locks and joint manipulations becomes the foundation for this fun martial art.
