How Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Different From Other Martial Arts?
Each martial art is unique; however Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a proven self-defense method. Although most marital arts teach discipline and increase self-esteem, few actually work for real life self-defense (compared to the movies). Most fights go to the ground, so by controlling another person on the ground, you are less likely to be a victim. By using highly effective grappling skills, instead of muscle, a small person can apply leverage and technique to overcome a larger person. Additionally, local tournaments offer all students the opportunity to test their skills against others.
