Considered as a form of martial arts that was handed down from ancient Samurai warriors of Japan during its war-torn era, it has become one of the more preferred disciplines around the world. The movements of Jiu-jitsu are mostly made up of ground-grappling, throws, punches, and kicks. The martial arts discipline also teaches the student how to handle weapons. The techniques applied in Jiu-jitsu center mostly on the use of leverage as oppose to brute strength. This means that mastery of the techniques is what matters.
There are no striking in Jiu-jitsu. Only submission holds.
