What? Noooooo, this is not capoeira. This is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), a self-defense art and combat sport that explicitly focuses on grappling and ground fighting. Punches and kicks are not allowed while practicing BJJ. The main goal of BJJ? To control your opponent by using his weight. Because the emphasis is on grappling, practitioners can train with different intensities, which makes it accessible for men, women and children (nice!).
