Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an excellent way of handling unarmed assaults. Taking the attacker to the ground or pulling guard on them reduces many advantages of size, strength, and speed. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is also extremely effective in close quarters where there is no space to run or escape. Having the ability to control your opponent and submit him from various positions is extremely effective in real combat situations. The constant emphasis on sparring (rolling) physically and mentally prepares BJJ practitioners for defense against a variety of attacks.
