Jiu Jitsu is a soft martial art and translates to "the gentle art."

Jiu Jitsu focuses on grappling and ground fighting.

The aim of jiu jitsu is to use leverage, joint locks, and chokeholds to control an opponent, while avoiding punches and kicks.

As it does not involve striking, jiu jitsu is considered a "soft" martial art that can be used by smaller individuals to defend themselves against bigger attackers.

Jiu Jitsu teaches students how to use their opponent's energy against them in order to gain an advantage, rather than relying on physical strength or size.
