Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, also known as BJJ, was born from Judo around 1920, when master Mitsuyo Maeda taught the fundamentals of ground fighting (ne-waza) to students such as Carlos Gracie and Luis França.
Over the years it became a fully-fledged sport with its own rules and gyms. Now it is a combat sport specializing in ground fighting practiced all over the world with international competitions.
It is also studied as a self-defense model and also for female defense, excellent for becoming aware of one’s body and gaining self-confidence. As a form of self-defense, its version without a kimono, Grappling, is more suitable.
