Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

BJJ is a form of grappling and ground fighting which incorporates finesse and technique, and daily training is done with a partner who is fully resisting 95% of the time. This makes BJJ training unique and different in rigor. For example, in most forms of stand up sparring, full contact equipment may be utilized, but hitting your partner fully can cause more injuries than intended. This has been an issue in stand up training since its inception. For example, Miyagi Chojun, the founder of Goju-Ryu Karate imported full contact sparring equipment in 1939 from China for his student to engage in full contact combat training. It is noted that he gave this up in 1940 due to the injuries his students sustained to their fingers, toes, and necks. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has managed to bypass this limitation.
