Brazilian Jiu-jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu focuses on grappling, it came from the Japanese martial art, Judo. In BJJ, they believe that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themself against a bigger opponent by using the proper technique, mainly joint locks and choke holds. BJJ emphasizes on taking an opponent to the ground and utilizing ground fighting
techniques, and submission holds which involve joint-locks and choke holds.
The premise is that most of the advantage of a larger, stronger opponent comes from superior reach and more powerful strikes, both of which are somewhat neglected when grappling on the ground.
BJJ is common in MMA, in fact it is a staple in MMA, it is what all fighters in MMA use for ground work, as they keep maneuvering till one person has dominant control over the other, e.g. side control, mount, back mount.
Capoeira
Capoeira is a very different martial arts, it includes music and dance as well. It was created in Brazil by slaves from Africa.
I feel like it would be difficult to explain Capoeira, so I'm just going to show you what it is like.
