The martial art that originated in Brazil and focuses on ground fighting and submission holds is known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). This sport emphasizes technique over strength, teaching practitioners to control and submit opponents through joint locks and chokeholds. BJJ's origins can be traced back to traditional Japanese Jujutsu, evolving through the Gracie family in Brazil. It has gained immense popularity worldwide and is now a key component of mixed martial arts (MMA) training, highlighting grappling and ground techniques.
