BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
- Judo is a Japanese martial art founded in 1882 by Jigoro Kano. It is an Olympic sport that focuses on throwing an opponent to the ground and pinning them, or using joint locks and chokes to force submission. It emphasizes using an opponent's force and momentum to control them rather than engaging in striking.

BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
- Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a ground-focused grappling martial art that was developed from Judo in the early 1900 and emphasizes leverage, control, and submission holds like joint locks and chokeholds to subdue opponents. It is designed to allow a smaller, weaker person to overcome a larger, stronger opponent, using timing, technique, and anatomy to achieve a submission.
CATCH WRESTLING

CATCH WRESTLING
- Catch wrestling, or "catch as catch can," is an aggressive 19th-century English submission grappling style that focuses on quickly securing submission holds and pinfalls by any means necessary, including powerful leg locks and dangerous cranks that are often forbidden in Judo and BJJ.
