COMPETITION FORMAT:
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art, combat sport and self defense system that focuses on grappling and ground fighting techniques; the discipline was designed to teach a smaller, weaker individual to properly defend against a larger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique. Some of these techniques include the use of joint locks, chokes and sweeps, amongst others. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and submission grappling have become increasingly popular over the 15 years since its intoduction to North America through a competitive setting. The Sunflower State Games and Topeka Jiu Jitsu welcome all grapplers and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioners to participate in this event for only the second time in Topeka, Kansas.
