Brazilian Jiu jitsu is an effective martial art for self defense when you really don’t want to hurt somebody or if you don’t want to show visible damage. Of course, you can hurt somebody with jiu jitsu if you really wanted to, but these techniques usually will not show signs of visible damage, like a bloody lip or nose from a punch would. Many schools are against fighting of any kind, even if you or your child is fighting back to defend themselves against bullies and punks. Give yourself and your child the gift of Self Defense.
