Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a versatile Martial Art. Its varied applications include a realistic self-defense system, a complete sport, a proven fighting style and a fun and healthy recreational activity. Because of its versatility, it is quickly becoming one of the most popular Martial Arts in the world today
Submission Grappling
Submission Grappling is one of the main components of Mixed Martial Arts and encompasses the ground fighting aspects of the sport. Submission Grappling combines the powerful throws of Olympic Judo competitors, the stealth-like take-downs of Greco-Roman/Freestyle Wrestlers, the slick Leg Lock attacks of Russian Sambo specialists, and the Snake-like submission skills of a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter.
