Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art, combat sport, and self defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground, and then applying join-locks and choke holds to defeat the opponent. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self-defense. Sparring (commonly referred to as "rolling") and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is a placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progress and ascension through its ranking system. Since its inception in 1882, its parent art of judo was separated from older systems of Japanese JuJitsu by an important difference that was passed on to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: it is not solely a martial art, it is also a sport; a method for promoting physical fitness and building character in young people; and, ultimately, a way of life. Muay Thai is known at "the art of 8 limbs" using your fists, elbows, knees and kicks. Tools used in Muay Thai to develop your skills are focus mitts, thai pads and bag work. Muay Thai was developed in the battlefields during warfare in South East Asia and still being used for fitness, self-defense and combat sports. Muay Thai VS Kickboxing In Kickboxing you are limited to only kicks, punches
