Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and self-defense system that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. It was developed in Brazil in the early 20th century by Carlos Gracie and his brothers. BJJ is based on the principle of using leverage and technique to overcome an opponent who is larger and stronger.

BJJ is a popular martial art for both men and women, and it is practiced by people of all ages and fitness levels. BJJ can be used for self-defense, competition, or simply as a way to get in shape and learn a new skill.

There are different levels of BJJ, from white belts to black belts. Each belt level represents a different level of skill and experience.
