Jiu Jitsu with Kylie Minogue on the BBC One Show

From King's College London Jiu Jitsu

May 13, 2014

Kylie Minogue stars alongside and our very own Mary Petty (3rd Dan) live on the BBC One Show with a demonstration of Jiu Jitsu recorded to celebrate the Suffragettes who learned Jiu Jitsu to defend themselves.

What they knew is still true today, a smaller person can overcome a bigger person not by meeting force with force, but by using an attacker's strength against him. Watch The Jitsu Foundation's demonstration of the essence of jiu jitsu in this clip from The One Show. (Kylie was not harmed in the making of this video.)

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
