Brazilian Jiu-jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position and using joint-locks and chokeholds to force an opponent to submit. It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant.
Classes are usually split on two segments - the first focusing on learning new techniques from the instructor and then practing them with a partner, and the second segment "rolling" or live sparring where one can practice learned techniques in a combat situation. Emphasis is placed on propper technique.
Taekwondo is known for its use of kicking techniques. The rationale is that the leg is the longest and strongest weapon a martial artist has, and kicks thus have the greatest potential to execute powerful strikes without successful retaliation. Taekwondo develops strength, speed, balance, flexibility, and stamina. An example of the union of mental and physical discipline is the breaking of boards, which requires both physical mastery of the technique and the concentration to focus one's strength.
Aikido
Aikido is primarily a grappling art in which attacks are neutralised with various types of throws or joint locks. Aikido techniques are intended to be implemented after first blending with the motion of the attacker, so that the defender may redirect the attacker's momentum without directly opposing it, thus using minimum effort.
Judo
Judo, meaning "gentle way", is a modern Japanese martial art and combat sport. The object is to either throw one's opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue one's opponent with a grappling maneuver, or force an opponent to submit by joint locking the elbow or applying a choke. Kicks, punches, and thrusts are taught in Judo, but not allowed in judo competition or free practice.
Tai Chi
Tai chi chuan is Chinese martial art applied with internal power. Considered a soft style martial art, it is practiced with the aim of promoting health and longevity. Tai Chi's training slow motion forms are well known as groups of people practice together every morning in parks around the world.
