Jiu-Jitsu, popularized in the United States by Royce Gracie with his performances in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, is arguably one of the most effective and realistic fighting systems. By addressing the fact that most real fights end on the ground, Jiu Jitsu offers its participants the ability to defeat larger opponents through the application of various submission (chokes, arm and leg locks) and throwing techniques. Jiu Jitsu is a workout that is like no other.
