What is Brazilian Jiu‑jitsu?
A first class starts with a warm-up, then a lesson you can see and ask about, then drilling with a partner. Live rolling comes after that, and only when you’re ready. Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a self-defense martial art and combat sport based on grappling, ground fighting, and submission holds. You learn to take your opponent to the ground, gain a dominant position, and finish with joint locks, strangleholds, and compression locks.
