A martial art based around effective group grappling, sounds silly fighting on the ground. But rolling around and putting people in triangles is all the rage now. Didn't you know?
Brazilian Jui Jitsu has recently received a noticeable rise in popularity all thanks to the UFC. Gyms all over the world seem to be full of guys learning the ground grappling art. I don't know about you but I never use to hear about people getting put into Armbars, now it just seems it happen every weekend.
Now I can understand the interest and rise in popularity, guys want to know that the self defence they know it applicable to the streets and multiple scenarios rather than just in the gym. The Effectiveness of BJJ in the UFC was just the exposure the art needed.
If it continues to go this way BJJ might become an official Olympic sport like other forms of self defence which include Boxing, Judo, Wrestling and Tae Kwon Do.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has become so popular even the Simpsons have recently made a joke on it. Now Fall atop me and face your doom!
But to be honest, the amount of UFC fanboys that are learning Jui Jitsu is worrying. I mean I'm bad enough as it is, could you imagine more guys like this in the World?
Seriously bro, Get in my Guard...
