Advanced Jiu-Jitsu: Brazilian Technique: Free Video Series
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gained world fame in 1990 when Royce Gracie won the first ever Ultimate Fighting Championship, however the martial art has a long history. Jiu-Jitsu or Jujutsu began centuries ago in Japan as a combat system for warriors; it emphasized joint locks, choke holds, and throws to overcome the enemy's body armor which would effectively stop or weaken a strike. This martial art was modified into Judo which was brought to Brazil by Mitsuyo Maeda. Maeda instructed a man named Carlos Gracie and was soon learned by his brothers including Helio Gracie. Helio adapted moves to create more leverage with less strength allowing a smaller person to defeat a much larger opponent. He also emphasized ground fighting to minimize a larger foe's reach and strength; thus began a full contact fighting system excellent for self-defense.
