Brazilian jiu-jitsu is firmly established as one of today's most exciting martial arts. Built around the concept of "going to the ground" and using only what works, Brazilian jiu-jitsu has built a huge worldwide following. From the Japan's Pride Fighting Championship, to the King of the Cage, to World Vale Tudo, to Extreme Fighting, it is nearly impossible to find a fighter who has not studied some form of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Brazilian experts such as Wallid Ismail, Rorion, Rickson, Royler, and Royce Gracie, and Rigan and Jean-Jacques Machado, have been instrumental in spreading the effectiveness of the art around the globe. Now, even American wrestlers such as Mark Kerr and Mark Coleman have been using jiu-jitsu's locks, chokes, and throws to befuddle opponents and win championships. While the names most associated with this South American art are predominantly male, there is a new breed of fighter that has taken up the art with the same enthusiasm and dedication shown by their male counterparts - jiu-jitsu women.
