BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art, and a self defense system. 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 to defeat the other person. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training can be used for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi), or self defense . Sparring (commonly referred to as 'rolling') and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progress and ascension through the grades/belts. Every student will start as a white belt and will first learn the basics of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.*

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.
