Brazilian jiu-jitsu, a martial art that originated in Brazil, was introduced to the United States in the 1990s. The art was brought to the United States by the Gracie family, who founded the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Torrance, California. Brazilian jiu-jitsu has become popular in the United States in recent years, thanks in part to its success in mixed martial arts competitions.

Another benefit of martial arts is the development of mental discipline and focus. The training requires concentration and attention to detail, which can improve cognitive skills such as memory and problem-solving.
