Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or BJJ is a Martial Art that shot to fame when Royce Gracie won the first UFC competition in 1993 by beating larger and stronger opponents, Royce took them to the ground and used BJJ to submit them via arm locks and chokes.
BJJ practitioners wear a Gi similar to a Judo suit and specialise in takedowns and submissions on the floor. BJJ allows chokes, strangles, armlocks and leglocks and relies heavily on the use of strategy to beat opponents earning it the nickname of physical chess.
