What is Jiu Jitsu?

Jiu-Jitsu is the science and art of controlling a resistant opponent through leverage, position, and technique.

The 4 pillars of Jiu Jitsu

1. Take the opponent to the ground: This reduces their ability to generate explosive kinetic energy, making it harder for them to deliver powerful strikes.

2. Get past their legs: This neutralizes the threat of up-kicks or submissions like chokes from the guard.

3. Work through a hierarchy of pins: Progress through dominant positions (e.g., side control, mount, rear mount), graded by their potential to enable effective strikes or control.

4. Secure a submission: Apply a joint lock or choke to force the opponent to tap out.
