BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU

INTRODUCED TO A NORTH AMERICAN AUDIENCE DURING THE FIRST UFC EVENTS IN THE EARLY 90'S, BRAZILIAN JIUJITSU (BJJ FOR SHORT) SHOWCASED ITS EFFECTIVENESS AS A FORM OF SELF DEFENSE WITH THE VICTORIES OF ROYCE GRACIE OVER MULTIPLE OPPONENTS, OF DIFFERING MARTIAL ART STYLES, IN A SINGLE NIGHT TOURNAMENT.

THIS MAKES BJJ IDEAL FOR MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN ALIKE AND ALLOWS FOR EFFECTIVE PROGRESS OVER TIME NO MATTER THE INDIVIDUALS ATHETIC ABILITY OR LEVEL OF FITNESS.
