Jiu-Jitsu is often misunderstood or overlooked in the world of sports, especially in China, where this ancient art form is not very popular despite its rich cultural heritage. Chinese Jiu-Jitsu is very different from the well-known Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which is known for its intense martial arts skills, while the former places more emphasis on body softness and fine control. This difference is not only reflected in the technique, but also in the brutality of the training and the challenge to the physical limits of the practitioner.
Chinese Jiu-Jitsu is more than just a sport, it's more of a way of life that places extremely high demands on the practitioner's body and willpower. Successful jiu-jitsu performers need not only to possess extraordinary flexibility, but also to possess perseverance and a high tolerance for pain, which makes this art particularly valuable in contemporary society.
