Jiu Jitsu is a grappling martial art that allows a smaller, weaker person to beat a much larger opponent as it is primarily on ground fighting where a more skillful Jiu Jitsu practitioner can dominate with a choke or a join lock. Jiu Jitsu includes a variety of grappling techniques to take the fight to the ground after taking a grip. Jiu Jitsu participants in competitions demonstrate their physical and psychological conditions, techniques, and abilities with the objective of rendering their opponents into submission. These same Jiu Jitsu maneuvers are the key to overcoming your opponents in both competitions and in real life situations.
Grappling refers to the gripping, handling and controlling of an opponent without the use of striking; typically through the application of various holds, and counters to various hold attempts.
