Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an intricate balance between standing and ground fighting. Mastering the proper leverage required to control an opponent is one of the first BJJ techniques that needs to be learned. Then BJJ fighters should focus on the art of ground fighting so that they can dictate and ultimately finish the fight. There are hundreds of joint-locks and choke holds that a BJJ fighter can master. In order to obtain a BJJ black belt, the fighter will need to become skilled in side control, full mount, back mount and guard in order to become a complete BJJ fighter. Joining a BJJ school is the best way to develop your moves and techniques.
