Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art, self defense and combat sport that focuses specially on ground fighting. It is characterized for emphasizing the use of  emphasizes leverage and technique (mainly joint-locks and chokeholds) over strength and power. This makes this sport perfect for  smaller and/or weaker people who can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger aggresor or opponent. 

For these reasons, brazilian jiu jitsu could be very well the best martial art and combat sport for women.

The goal of this website is not only to share with you my experience within the BJJ world but also to encourage women to practice it.
