Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) Exeter
Jiu-Jitsu originated 2,500 years ago in India. It was developed by Monks as a method of self-defence against thieves on long journeys. In 1919, Jiu-Jitsu was introduced to Brazilian Hélio Gracie, who developed the Japanese art into what is today known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) focuses on grappling and ground fighting. It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger opponent using leverage and proper technique by using locks and choke-holds.
Royce Gracie's exploits in the early UFCs changed our perceptions of fighting forever. Armies rewrote their unarmed combat guides and all serious martial artists re-evaluated their systems. Royce Gracie demonstrated that in a one-on-one confrontation, a grappler has the advantage over a striker. This was year zero, a massive culture shock for an audience brought up on boxing and bar-room brawling. For the first time a global audience were exposed to the ultra effective techniques perfected by Helio Gracie. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu delivered what every other martial art had promised. Skill and tactics could beat brute force. Royce choked and arm-barred a succession of monsters into submission to ram home the point. BJJ conquered the world.
