What is Jiu Jitsu?
Bjj or Jiu-Jitsu—which literally means the gentle art—is a famous form of self-defense that does not rely on physical strength and power. Using techniques of strikes, holds, locks, chokes, throws, and evasions, it employs mechanics through leverage and knowledge of human anatomy to overcome any attacker with minimal effort and strength.
