Brazilian Ju
Jitsu (BJJ) in Chepstow
BJJ is a
grappling art that uses the principles of leverage, timing, and
knowledge of the human anatomy. Ju means gentle and Jitsu means art,
so its name literally means the gentle art.
BJJ originally
came from Japanese ju jitsu and Judo which came to Brazil in the
early 1900’s. It has since evolved into the fighting system you see
today made famous by the Gracies in the UFC where it took the martial
arts world by storm. It has since earned the right to be recognised
as one of the best ground fighting styles around.
