Car Jitsu is a real sport and it sees jiu-jitsu competitors grapple and fight inside of a car, using everything available to them to make the other competitor tap out.
The sport started in Russia but has since made its way to the United States and now they are having championship Car Jitsu fights! They even try to strangle each other with their seatbelts!
Vik Mikheev, who holds a PhD in mathematics and black belts in both Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo, created the sport in 2020 with his friends.
He said: “In 2020, I came up with the idea of doing competitive grappling in vehicles. Since October of 2020, I and my friends run small tournaments of Car Jitsu to study the aspects of jiu-jitsu application in such a confined space.”
You can watch some of the championship fights in the video below! It’s so wild that this is a real sport!
