Talk about jiu-jitsu.

Jiu-jitsu is a Brazilian martial art that has roots in judo. Rather than striking techniques, it is centered on grappling or holding the opponent.

It really is similar to judo. But judo focuses on grasping and throwing the opponent. In contrast, jiu-jitsu aims to make opponents lose their balance. When they are down, you force them into submission through various chokesholds.

Jiu-jitsu is a martial art that lets even a small person win against someone much bigger. That's why it's gaining popularity among people who want to learn self-defense. You can easily finds videos of women who are well-versed in jiu-jitsu dominating men. In Korea, more and more studios are teaching jiu-jitsu these days.

Do you train every day?

I go to the studio almost every day. I'm trying to up my level.
