While Jiu Jitsu has become recognized internationally as a combat sport, thanks in no small part to the popularity of MMA fighting, Jiu Jitsu is Japanese for the Soft Art.
It was originally a means of self-defense for an individual against a larger or armed foe, and relies more on leverage and technique than brute strength. This property makes it an ideal form of self-defense for anyone, not just cage fighters.
No matter your age, gender or strength, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu will give you the tools to defend yourself in a real world attack.
Unlike the movies, 95% of all violent attacks and street fights end up on the ground in real life. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the only martial art that focuses on ground fighting.
