Brazilian jiu jitsu is a combat sport focusing on ground fighting. In essence, the main goal is to force the opponent to the ground and control him. Afterwards the practitioner can then decide to submit his opponent by applying joint locks or chokes. The BJJ has been developed in Brazil by the Gracie family in the ’20s. In recent years it has become popular due to the UFC competitions. In fact, jiu jitsu fighters dominated the MMA arena during the ’90. Without a doubt, it is one of the fastest growing combat sports today.
