Brazilian Jiu Jitsu focuses on leverage and grappling, rather than kicks and punches, to gain control of an opponent. Students learn practical techniques which make the most effective use of their strength, while turning the attacker’s force against him or her. These include ground fighting techniques which make it possible for the student to overcome an opponent even after being taken to the ground.
