What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
In the martial world, there are two modern designations which differentiate the various sorts of martial arts disciplines. The two main categories are striking arts and grappling arts.
Jiu Jitsu For Women
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes for girls are a very important part of self defense for women of all ages. The reason is because typically women do not get into too many fist fights. Usually when girls get attacked it is a man trying to kidnap or pin to the ground.
Jiu Jitsu For Children
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes for children have a very different purpose than for an adult. Children need structure in their lives. Classes in Jiu Jitsu offer that, plus self defense, self control, self discipline and respect.
History of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
One can hardly discuss the contemporary Martial Arts scene without including the revolutionary movement that is from Brazilian Jiu-jitsu schools in Pompano Beach, Florida.
Understanding the Martial Landscape
Let us begin not with the rich history of this art itself but rather the greater martial landscape of the modern Martial Arts era. I will say that in my opinion this is the period after World War II when American servicemen returned from places like Okinawa Japan Korea and other Eastern nations bringing back newly acquired knowledge and experience in arts such as Karate Ju-jitsu Judo Taekwondo and Kenpo.
Birth of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Let us now go into a brief bit of history and the exportation of Japanese Ju-jitsu to the country of Brazil. Ju-jitsu seems to have simply been a name for unarmed combat in the Samurai period though this may be an oversimplification on behalf of modern scholars. In any case there were definitely striking and percussive movements within the general subject of Ju-jitsu.
