BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. The art was derived from the Japanese martial art of Kodokan judo in the early 20th century. It teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique-most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training can be used for sport grappling tournaments and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self defense.
MUAYTHAI
Muaythai is a combat sport from Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. Muay Thai is referred to as the "Art of Eight Limbs" or the "Science Of Eight Limbs" because it makes use of punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, thus using eight "points of contact", as opposed to "two points" (fists) in boxing and "four points" (hands and feet) used in sport-oriented martial arts.
WRESTLING
Wrestling is a martial art and combat sport in which two people compete by grappling, throwing, and attempting to control each other. Historically, the goals have been to gain a dominant position and pin the opponent. While forms of wrestling have existed in cultures around the world since ancient times, the sport became well known when it was included in the ancient Olympic Games in Greece around 708 BC. Wrestling continued to develop over the centuries, with styles such as Greco-Roman and freestyle emerging in the 19th century. Today, wrestling is practiced worldwide as both a competitive sport and a method of physical training.
BOXING
Boxing is a martial art and combat sport in which two people throw punches at each other. Historically, the goals have been to weaken and knock down the opponent. While people have fought in hand-to-hand combat since before the dawn of history, the origin of boxing as an organized sport may be its acceptance by the ancient Greeks as an Olympic game in BC 688. Boxing evolved from 16th- and 18th-century prizefights, largely in Great Britain, to the forerunner of modern boxing in the mid-19th century, again initially in Great Britain and later in the United States.
