Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) originated in Japan and was introduced in Brazil by the Gracie family in the early 20th century.
BJJ is a martial sport that focuses on grappling and submission techniques.
The history of BJJ originated from the story of the legend of Helio Gracie which was physically weak but succeeded in developing effective grapping techniques to play a bigger and stronger opponent.
One of the characteristics of BJJ is the use of kimono or GI when practicing and competing.
BJJ is also known as Human Chess because it requires complex strategies and tactics such as chess games.
BJJ athletes are known to have excellent physical conditions because of intense and continuous exercises.
BJJ is also known as a very inclusive sport and can be enjoyed by people of various ages, sexes, and levels of ability.
BJJ has become popular throughout the world, especially after the success of Brazilian athletes such as Royce Gracie in the UFC tournament in the 1990s.
Some Hollywood celebrities such as Ashton Kutcher and Guy Ritchie are known to be BJJ fans and often practice at BJJ special gym.
