Eddie Kone Undercover tells about Martial Arts

1. Eddie Kone tells about Martial Arts | Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Eddie Kone said Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat that are practiced for a number of reasons, such as self-defense, use of military and law enforcement, competition, physical, mental and spiritual development, entertainment, and preservation of the intangible cultural heritage of nations. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the safest full-contact martial arts for practitioners. Unlike other martial arts, which focus on punches and kicks, jiu-jitsu focuses on tight touch and hold techniques as well as the use of throttles and joint manipulation. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the result of the importation of Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and Judo to the South American continent in the early 1900s and their transformation into a new martial arts style by a core group of Brazilian pioneers. Eddie Kone said Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a dynamic martial art that enhances not only mental awareness, physical endurance, and self-confidence, but also self-defense. When using BJJ, the fighter's goal is to bring his opponent to the ground, enable him to be forced into submission, and focus on leverage and grip. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu differs from other martial arts by its stronger emphasis on ground combat. It places less emphasis on standing techniques such as punches, throws, and takedowns to earn points, and the rules allow for a wider range of techniques, such as monopod and double leg kicks and foot sweeps. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a ground-based martial art that mainly uses levers, angles, pressure, timing, and knowledge of human anatomy to achieve a non-violent submission of the opponent. Many people know BJJ because of its use in contemporary MMA competitions, but may not be aware of jujutsu. The word Jiu-Jitsu is derived from Japanese Ju, which means "gentle," and Jutsu, which means "art," and Jiu-Jitsu is a gentle art.
