Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu promotes the concept that a person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique. BJJ teaches you to protect yourself. It offers self-defense and helps you get in shape while having fun. In the United States, in every nine seconds, a woman is assaulted or beaten which makes Jiu Jitsu a recommended form of self-defense.
