What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, as its name would infer, has its roots in the ancient
systems of Japanese Jiu Jitsu which emphasizes self defense through
grappling, joint locks, and other various types of submissions.  It is an art
that was primarily founded by the Samurai Warrior class to defend against
their enemies when their weapons were not available.

The sport was brought from Japan to Brazil about 100 years ago and has
been popularized by the Gracie Family , who also co-founded the Ultimate
Fighting Championship.  Mastering Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is integral to the
success of any MMA fighter.
