About ARTE BJJ
Jiu-jitsu is a Japanese martial art characterized by being a non-violent form of combat, focusing on close-contact grappling techniques. The term "jiu-jitsu" is composed of the Japanese words "Jū", which means "gentle", and "Jutsu", which means "art".
Jiu-jitsu is a martial art that relies on the principles of leverage, angles, pressure and timing. The goal is to use the opponent's strength against him, rather than directly opposing him.
Jiu-jitsu was developed by the samurai of feudal Japan as a way to defeat an armed and armored opponent, with or without a short weapon. The most effective techniques for neutralizing an enemy were developed around the principle of using the attacker's energy against him.
