Jiu-Jitsu equips a smaller, weaker person with the ability to defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, heavier attacker with the use of leverage and weight distribution. . Training can be used both for self-defense situations and for sport grappling tournaments. Sparring (commonly referred to as “rolling” within the Jiu-Jitsu community) and live drilling play a major role in training and the practitioner’s development. Jiu-Jitsu is not just a martial art or sport, but also a method for promoting physical fitness, discipline, and character.
