Not at all. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu revolutionized martial arts with its fundamentals and techniques. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not about speed, power, or even size. BJJ techniques focus on gaining superior positioning and leverage on your opponent, both of which can be accomplished with minimal use of energy. We have trained people in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu who weighed from 90 lbs to 400 lbs.
