brazilian Jiu-jitsu

brazilian jiu-jitsu

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and a self-defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu draws its initial roots from Kodokan Judo ground fighting fundamentals. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu eventually came to be its own art through the experimentations, practice, and adaptation from the teachings of Japanese master Mitsuyo Maeda to Carlos and Hélio Gracie, who then passed these skills and knowledge to successive generations.

Great night on the mat with the guys. Thanks for being so welcoming; love learning new tricks (and remembering old ones). Will try and make it back one day.
