Etymology

The term 'jujutsu' comes from the Japanese words 'ju' meaning 'gentle' or 'yielding,' and 'jutsu' meaning 'art' or 'technique.' This martial art originated in Japan during the late 16th century as a means for samurai to defend themselves without weapons. As firearms became prevalent, traditional weaponry techniques became less practical, leading to the development of jujutsu. The practice emphasized adaptability and using an opponent's momentum, allowing weaker individuals to defeat stronger adversaries. Over the centuries, various schools and styles emerged, each with unique philosophies and techniques. The art of jujutsu later influenced the creation of other martial arts such as judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which further diversified its techniques and applications, allowing jujutsu to gain worldwide popularity.
