Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is the most effective and realistic fighting system today. By addressing the fact that most real fights go to the ground, BJJ offers its students the ability to defeat larger opponents through the application of ground fighting techniques and submission holds involving joint-locks, choke holds and also throwing techniques. The premise is that most of the advantage of a larger, stronger opponent comes from superior reach and more powerful strikes, both of which are somewhat negated when grappling on the ground.
