Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Judo are grappling arts. Judo focuses on throwing your opponent to the ground, and Brazilian Jiu jitsu focuses on submission moves on the ground like chokes and joint-locks.

Ultimately we train in martial arts for one main reason: to develop the ability to defend yourself. If you can truly defend yourself, then you will have self confidence. Also if you learn the right martial art you WILL be able to defend yourself if the need ever arises.

The Great Martial Arts Dilema

The truth of the matter is that 95% of most physical attacks and fights start with an aggressor grabbing a victim and then taking the victim to the ground to continue the attack. Many times the victim is knocked to the ground by surprise and the attacker gets on top of the victim.

Do traditional martial arts address this issue?

Traditional martial arts completely ignore these facts. They rely on punching and kicking and have few if any techniques that deal with an aggressor grabbing you and taking you to the ground. Furthermore traditional martial arts require speed, quickness, flexibility and a great amount of athletic ability to be effective.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was specifically developed for smaller weaker individuals to use technique and leverage to stop a larger, stronger and more aggressive attacker.


Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a truly superior martial arts form that has been proven time and time and time again. It is a truly practical martial art that is amazingly effective.
