Combat Jiu Jitsu is a hybrid martial art that combines elements of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) with strikes, distinguishing it from traditional BJJ competitions where striking is not allowed. It bridges the gap between BJJ and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) by permitting open-hand strikes when competitors are grappling on the ground. This addition introduces a new layer of strategy and realism, as practitioners must defend against not only grappling techniques but also strikes. Developed to simulate more closely a real self-defense or combat scenario, Combat Jiu Jitsu emphasizes the effectiveness of BJJ techniques under conditions that are more reflective of an actual fight, making it a fascinating and evolving sport within the martial arts community.
