Brazilian jiu-Jitsu is characterized by its emphasis on grappling, ground fighting and submission holds.
It revolves around the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, and heavier opponent by using leverage to take their opponent to the ground, controlling them, gaining a dominant position, and using a number of holds and submissions to defeat them.
Therefore, one of the most important goals in BJJ is to improve your response time and decision-making processes. Respond faster than your opponent and get your choke grip on them.
Sometimes fast is not the answer, and you have to make the right decision at just the right time. Time your attack perfectly and lock your opponent in the back mount position to force their submission.
The time a Juijiteiro has to process, analyze, and execute the perfect response is milliseconds, which can make the difference between winning and losing.
