BJJ uses fundamental mechanics of human movement, frames and levers to subdue an opponent, leading to submissions such as joint locks and chokes. BJJ is practiced for fitness, self-defense, and as a popular competitive sport. Throughout the world, people of all ages, sizes and levels of fitness safely train in this challenging and rewarding combat martial art.
