Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

The strategy of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighting was formed to enable a smaller, or weaker, person to effectively defend or defeat a larger individual using leverage and technique. Jiu-Jitsu offers many methods of fighting while on ones back, which is a position that a person is likely to find themselves in when attacked. Not only is Jiu-Jitsu good for self defense, but it has many physical benefits as well such as flexibility and weight loss.
