Jiu-jitsu is Japanese and it literally translates to “art of softness”. It is a martial art that focuses on joint locks and choke holds to suppress an attacker. One of its main principals is using leverage and technique so that a smaller person can defeat a larger attacker.
In the last ten years, there has been a shift in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ for short). This new style of BJJ requires flexibility to use. It is known as Tenth Planet Jiu-jitsu. There are quite a few traditional BJJ schools in Texas, but there is none that are Tenth Planet gyms. I plan on one day mastering the system to a point where I can run my own gym right here in Houston.
