Martial Art of Brazilian Jujitsu – Part 1


hi I’m Glen Mackenzie from watchmojo.com
we’re here to show you a little bit of
what brazilian jiu-jitsu is jiu-jitsu is
basically ground fighting i would say
you know probably eighty five percent of
it as ground fighting your goal is
basically to take your opponent down and
manipulate him in a way that he’s going
to submit there’s two different aspects
i would say you’ve got the jiu-jitsu
that you could use on the street and
then you have the support to Jitsu
there’s no striking do you think
jiujitsu something that anybody can pick
up off the street or is it something
that you need to be a little athletic at
one aspect that i really admire about
you Jitsu more than any other art is the
ability for a young student to catch on
quickly most people don’t know how to
fight on the ground in nitrogen is based
on technique if you’re come to school
off and three or four times a week after
six months to quite proficient I want
the student to be is very well-rounded
as possible and I believe the first
probably six months to a year is
probably the most important training
they’re going to get that’s the base of
what’s going to grow basically what we
just do is add techniques to all the
different positions I try to make it as
simplified as possible so you have to
take all of thinking out of it and just
react as naturally as possible would you
say that Brazilian jiu-jitsu is more of
an art form or is it more of a practical
base martial art oh it’s definitely a
practical base martial art excellent for
self-defense it’s very good for women
because you don’t really need a lot of
strength to become proficient at it
strength is secondary you just need to
be as technical as possible generally
takes quite a few years before you can
become very very proficient in it you
have to be patient
