Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining dominant position by using chokeholds and joint locks in order to submit your opponent. It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend themselves against a bigger individual. BJJ permits a wide variety of techniques to take the fight to the ground after taking a grip. Once, your opponent is on the ground, a number of maneuvers are available to manipulate your opponent into a submission. Achieving a dominant position on the ground is one of the hallmarks of BJJ , and includes effective use of the guard position to defend oneself from bottom, and passing the guard to dominate from top position with side control, mount, and back mount positions.

Mixed Martial Arts

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a combat sport in which a wide variety of fighting techniques are used, including striking and grappling.

The techniques utilized in mixed martial arts competition generally fall into two categories: striking techniques (such as kicks, knees and punches) and grappling techniques (such as clinch holds, pinning holds, submission holds, sweeps, takedowns and throws).

A victory in a bout is normally gained by the judges' decision after an allotted amount of time has elapsed, a stoppage by the referee or the fight doctor (in the event that the competitor is injured or can no longer defend himself intelligently), a submission, by a competitor's cornerman throwing in the towel, or by knockout.
