Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art with a rich history and tradition. It is a unique style of fighting because it involves no striking and requires taking an opponent to the ground and using submission moves. Jiu Jitsu’s popularity has exploded worldwide because it is a fun, intense and complex martial art that can be learned by children and adults alike. If you are looking for a fighting style that is designed to overpower larger opponents without inflicting serious damage, Jiu Jitsu is the one for you. In this blog, VT1 discusses the fundamental skills of the martial art, as well as what to expect when you begin your Jiu Jitsu journey.
