Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Technique

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (English: Brazillian jiu-jitsu (BJJ)) is a martial art focusing on the first floor battles popularized in Brazil. This self-defense is a development of the martial arts of Kodokan Judo, pioneered by Mitsuyo Maeda with the Gracie Family. Furthermore, the Gracie family has succeeded in popularizing the martial arts in an international stage. One of the most successful events that popularized this martial art was the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighting event, which Royce Gracie won several times.
