 What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu contains standup techniques for winning a fight, but it is famous for its devastating ground fighting techniques. BJJ was developed to allow a smaller person to defeat a larger person by applying leverage and technique. The idea is to gain superior positioning on your opponent and then to apply numerous chokes, holds, locks and joint manipulations.
