    Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. It originated in 12th century Japan as a means of close combat and self defense for Samurai. In the early 1900s, it spread to Brazil where the Gracie brothers refined it less reliant on strength and more on leverage, timing, and body movements. Royce Gracie popularized Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by winning the first Ultimate Fighting Championship in 1993 using submission holds against opponents of other fighting styles. It provides benefits like fun, self-defense, stress relief, and exercise through techniques like takedowns, controlling dominant positions, and submissions.
