Jiu-Jitsu Class

Have you heard of Jiu-Jitsu? This sport and martial art originated in Japan and is now globally known for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It’s a grappling sport where the athlete tries to control their opponent through techniques until they can immobilize them. Practitioners see Jiu-Jitsu not just as a sport but as a philosophy of life, as it trains both the body and the mind, emphasizing principles like humility.
