Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu began with a Japanese man by the name of Mitsuyo Maeda. He was a skilled Judoka and one of the members of the Kodokan. Brazilian-Jiu-Jitsu is a good martial art if you are a small and/ or week person in need of a fighting and defense technique that will give you an advantage over your assailant. The leverage and techniques applied in this martial art make it perfect for weak people to take over larger and/ or stronger people.
There are numerous forms of Jiu-Jitsu. In this Brazilian form of Jiu-Jitsu you will often see two opponents on the ground, bodies interlocked, trying to pin each other down. In tournament fighting the game is won by the person who gets his opponent in to a hold he can’t get out of, this is known as a submission hold. When fighting on the ground with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, height and size doesn’t matter as much. It is also harder for a stronger opponent to get in any very strong hits while on the ground.
So in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, it could be said that the key to being successful is form and technique. When the fighting tournament starts both opponents are standing. At this stage the goal of each is to get the other to the ground. Usually both opponents end up on the ground but it is possible for just one person to end up on the ground with the other person just coming down to get him in a locked position.
In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, once one or both of the opponents are on the ground the fight really gets interesting. Who will win and walk off with the prize? If both opponents are on the ground their main objective will be to get in a dominant position. The one in the dominant position first is most likely but not always the one to overpower his opponent and win the tournament.
There are a few famous Brazilian-Jiu-Jitsu martial arts fighters. The most famous Brazilian-Jiu-Jitsu martial arts fighter, and actually the creator of the martial art is the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu family. The Machado brothers and Fredson Paixao are also famous Brazilian-Jiu-Jitsu martial arts fighters. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a good form of defense and may decrease the need for gun use when protecting one’s self.
Brazilian-Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art that uses a lot of choke holds and joint locks. This form of defense is carried out on the ground and standing and involves grappling. In defense fighting this is a martial art that is good for smaller people needing to over take larger opponents. Brazilian-Jiu-Jitsu is also used for tournament fighting and mixed martial arts competitions.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Theory and Technique (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu series)
 During the last decade, the martial arts world has looked to innovative mixed martial arts competitions such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship to determine which fighting style is the best. These contests have repeatedly shown the grappling style of martial arts, headed by Brazilian jiu-jitsu, to dominate. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu style stems from the premise, garnered from analysis of actual street fights, that the outcome of any fight is decided on the ground. While most martial arts deal only with the initial punching and kicking stages of combat, Brazilian jiu-jitsu concentrates on ground combat. This guide shows how to use Brazilian jiu-jitsu to increase combat effectiveness. Photographs and step-by-step instructions show how to master the techniques used in this exciting new form of combat.
