HISTORY OF BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU:

Jiu-Jitsu incorporates a variety of strangles and chokes, sweeps and throws, joint locks and submission techniques. You will develop a solid mastery of the fundamentals that is essential in creating a foundation upon which the more advanced techniques can be built.

Jiu-Jitsu, which means gentle art is the oldest form of martial art. It originated in India more than 2000 years before Christ. It was created by monks who could not use any type of weapons to defend their lives against barbarian attacks. It spread through China, and eventually took root and was elaborated on in Japan becoming the first martial art style. The samurai clans in Japan adopted Jiu-Jitsu as their own traditional style to defeat an opponent regardless if the situation was striking, throwing or grappling. With the passing years, they split the techniques and developed other martial arts styles, such as judo, akido, karate, etc.
