What is Jiu Jitsu?

Jiu Jitsu is a grappling martial art that focuses on using leverage and timing to allow people to not only protect themselves, but also control a larger or stronger opponent safely.

Jiu Jitsu primarily focuses on a few key aspects such as, closing the distance to a standing opponent, taking them to the ground, securing a dominant position and then finishing the fight through the use of submissions (chokes, joint locks ect.).
