Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art, sport and lifestyle that holds world-wide recognition. There are countless instructors with a good knowledge and experience of BJJ that do not hold the Brazilian nationality or Gracie name.
Whether or not someone decides to become a master of BJJ is down to the individual. It is not an easy decision to make or a light task to embark on. There are many years of dedication required to reach such a grading.
The popularity of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is soaring and although there are elements of BJJ in MMA it would in completely inaccurate to assume that MMA is BJJ and visa versa. Be sure to check the originality of the form of BJJ you are being taught.
