Etymology

The term 'jujitsu' comes from the Japanese words 'ju' meaning 'gentle' and 'jutsu' meaning 'art' or 'technique'. This martial art developed in the 16th century as a means of hand-to-hand combat for samurai when they were disarmed. Jujitsu incorporates a variety of techniques, including throws and joint locks, that allow a smaller or physically weaker person to defend themselves against a larger opponent. As it spread to various parts of the world, particularly in Brazil, it evolved into Brazilian jujitsu, which emphasizes ground fighting and submission holds. The practice of jujitsu has gained global popularity, not only as a form of self-defense but also as a competitive sport.
