BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
BJJ is an art specializing in the grappling range.  It is akin to wrestling with chokes and joint locks.  In our class we always spend at least an hour training on combat within the grappling range.  After class there are always  several students that stay to train for at least an extra hour.  It's an awesome workout that not only keeps you in great shape, but helps prepare you for the reality of a street fight.      I don't think I could write enough here to do the Brazilian fighters justice for BJJ's incorperation in to the mainstream martial arts here in the US.  There are so many great BJJ stylists out there, such as the members of the Gracie family, the Machado family, and countless others.  Since most fights that last over a few seconds go to the ground, it only makes sence to do extensive training there.  BJJ is a great art to learn what to do when you get there.  Make sure you check out my mainpage links to some of the great BJJ fighter's websites.
