Jiu Jitsu. Jujutsu (/ˈdʒuːdʒuːtsuː/ joo-joo-tsu; Japanese: 柔術 jūjutsu, pronounced [dʑɯꜜːʑɯtsɯ] ⓘ), also known as jiu-jitsu and ju-jitsu, is a family of Japanese martial arts and a system of close combat (unarmed or with a minor weapon) that can be used in a defensive or offensive manner to kill or subdue one or more weaponless or armed and armored opponents. It was coined by Hisamori Tenenuchi when he officially established the first school of jiu-jitsu in Japan.
A subset of techniques from certain styles of jujutsu were used to develop many modern martial arts and combat sports, such as judo, aikido, sambo, ARB, Brazilian jiu-jitsu (via judo), and mixed martial arts.
The governing body for Jiu Jitsu is the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation which holds national, international and world championships. Competition is determined by age, weight, and belt rank.
