BJJ in the Special Forces

Elite military units around the world have long sought effective close-combat systems, and BJJ has become a core part of their training. Its emphasis on grappling control and submissions provides soldiers with tools for unarmed combat in high-stress situations.

Special Forces programs often adapt BJJ for practical application—focusing less on competition strategies and more on rapid control and neutralization. The integration of BJJ into military combatives underscores its reputation as one of the most adaptable and reliable martial arts.
