For many years, the **Leão Dourado Sports Association** has followed a path of struggle and success in Jiu-Jitsu in Minas Gerais, nationally, and internationally. With top-level instructors, the team has been reaping the rewards of its dedication and effort in training not only athletes, but also conscious citizens and champions in various Jiu-Jitsu sporting events around the world. According to some historians, **Jiu-Jitsu** , or "gentle art," originated in India and was practiced by Buddhist monks. Concerned with self-defense, the monks developed a technique based on the principles of balance, the body's articulation system, and leverage, avoiding the use of force and weapons. With the expansion of Buddhism, Jiu-Jitsu spread throughout Southeast Asia, China, and finally reached Japan, where it developed and became popular. From the late 19th century onwards, some Jiu-Jitsu masters migrated from Japan to other continents, making a living teaching the martial art and participating in fights.
