What Is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling art with a focus on submissions like joint locks and chokes. Its origins lie in Brazil after locals started practising techniques taught to them by visiting judokas. The art gained major popularity in the 90's after the seemingly unassuming BJJ black belt Royce Gracie won the UFC 1 tournament by defeating opponents several weightclasses above him. Today the sport has a widespread competition scene, which thanks to the belt ranking system is accessible to people of all expereience. EUBJJ is open to everybody whatever your experience. So if you've ever been curious about BJJ this is your chance to get involved.
