Authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was founded to bridge the “Today”. The main differences between the BJJ styles are between traditional Gracie Jiu-Jitsu’s emphasis on self-defense, and Sport Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s orientation towards competition. There is a large commonality of techniques between the two. Also, there is a wide variety of ideals in training in different schools in terms of the utilization of technique versus how much to attempt to overpower an opponent. Authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was founded to bridge the gap.
