HISTORY OF JUJITSU

Jujitsu (also known as BJJ, Jiu Jutsu, and Jujutsu) is a martial art form that originated in Japan and other Asian countries and found its way to the west in the early 1900’s. Masters of Jujitsu challenged anyone from professional wrestlers to boxers and defeated them—often brutally. Jujitsu, “the art of flexibility” relies on speed, balance and leverage as opposed to brute strength. This martial art is practiced today within the safety guidelines of organizations, and techniques are used only to a point to minimize damage.
