Jiu Jitsu, also known as the gentle art ( “ju” meaning “gentle” and “jitsu” meaning “art” in Japanese) can be traced as far back as 4,000 years to Buddhist Monks in India. It is also traced to feudal Japan where it was utilized and developed among Samurai fighters as a more efficient way to battle by hand. Jiu Jitsu evolved in Japan and was later brought to South America in the early 1900s where it again evolved and developed into the competitive art form and sport we are familiar with today known as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a form of Martial Arts that takes the fight to the ground and utilizes leverage and timing to submit one’s opponent. Because leverage and timing are the main components of the fight, it equalizes the playing field among all ages and genders.
