Brazilian Jiu - jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a dynamic ground martial art developed by Helio Gracie in Brazil. It is known for it's effectiveness for self defense, and giving a smaller individual the ability to effectively defend themselves against a larger opponent. Most of the UFC's most talented athletes are well versed in this martial art.
