Revolution BJJ is located in the west end of Richmond, VA. Head instructor is BJJ Revolution Team black belt Andrew Smith .
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is primarily a grappling system that utilizes chokes, joint locks, and ground compliance techniques to control your opponent. BJJ has recently been made popular through "ultimate fighting" and mixed martial tournaments.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a sophisticated extension of pre-1925 Kodokan Judo (known then as ju-jitsu). It arrived in Brazil when Mitsuyo Maeda first brought it with him during his visit to Brazil with the hopes of establishing a Japanese colony/community in the country. It was further developed by the Gracie family during the mid-20th century. The primary difference between Judo, Japanese Jujitsu, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu is the focus on ground fighting and ground grappling. In addition, like Judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu encourages "randori" or free sparring against a live, resisting opponent. Thus, students have an opportunity to test their skills and develop them under realistic conditions, with minimal risk of injury. BJJ is trained both with and without a judo or Jiu Jitsu gi.

This is only one of the many moves in Brazilian jiujitsu, a martial arts form where most of the fighting is done on the ground. In a typical match, both fighters start out standing and then collide like rams, holding onto each other's shoulders until one takes down the other. Once both fighters are on the ground, the object is to inflict as much pain as possible until the other fighter taps out. The competitors get themselves into twists and tangles, rolling and tumbling in every which way. Points are awarded based on how well the fighters perform. If time runs out, the fighter with the most points wins.
