Physics in Jiu Jitsu

In Jiu Jitsu player needs to get his opponent on the ground and control him. In this case, the use of force is very important because if the player can use force more effective, he can have better control.

this lab demonstrates How Does a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner’s understanding of physics (Torque) make
him or her more effective.

Torque: a measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate.

fulcrum: the point on which a lever rests or is supported and on which it pivots.

Lever: a simple machine consisting of a beam or rigid rod pivoted at a fulcrum.

force: any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object.
