Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), whose roots lie in Japanese ju-jutsu, wrestling and judo, has grown into one of the most effective martial arts. Focused on ground fighting, BJJ assumes that most real fights end on the ground. Its tactics include taking down the opponent and dominating them on the ground, and ultimately applying finishing techniques such as joint locks or chokes. BJJ training begins with the goal of taking down the opponent and moving to the ground, where domination skills and finishing techniques are key. In BJJ, the main emphasis is on grips, eliminating strikes during training and sports fights. The levels of advancement are marked with colored belts: white, blue, purple, brown and black. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gained huge popularity thanks to the first MMA tournaments, where representatives of this martial art dominated in ground fights. Currently, BJJ and Submission Fighting are inseparable elements of cross-training for MMA competitors, enjoying recognition and respect in the world of martial arts.
