In BJJ, practitioners seek to control their opponents through a series of techniques such as joint locks, chokes, and throws, with the ultimate goal of submitting them. The sport is often practiced in a Gi, a traditional uniform that consists of a jacket and pants made of heavy cotton. However, BJJ can also be practiced without the Gi, which is known as No-Gi grappling and has become very popular.BJJ in general has become increasingly popular in recent years, and it is now practiced by people of all ages and backgrounds around the world.
It is also a popular form of self-defense training, as its focus on ground fighting makes it well-suited for real-world situations where fights often end up on the ground. Every UFC or MMA World Champion has trained a form of BJJ.
