Jiu Jitsu is a grappling sport that uses chokes and locks. NOT kicks or punches like in UFC, or MMA. You can use wrestling takedowns or judo throws to takedown your opponent. Its the shit when compared to other martial arts, because most of the other guys know how to fight standing up, but when a jits guy takes your ass down, you dont know what to do when it happens.

This traditional arts involved in striking, throwing, or grappling. Hence the disciple of karate, judo, and aikido.

Mostly a name for modern practical self-defense systems, which are founded after WWII in western countries as a combination of Judo, Karate and Aikido, specialized to use it against modern day attacks. Synonymous words like Jujitsu, Ju-Jitsu or Ju-Jutsu are widely used. Also name of a combination of western boxing and wrestling with self-defense "tricks", brought from Japan to Europe and the US around 1900 to 1920. In later years often practiced as a companion to judo or as "judo self-defense" until the modern systems were founded. This Jiu-Jitsu often was presented in film, e.g. in the Mr. Moto movies (starring Peter Lorre). Self-defense arts called Jiu-Jitsu should not be mistaken with ancient Japanese Jujutsu styles, which are traditional, classical bujutsu (martial skills) of the Japanese warriors (samurai) and are in fact koryu (ancient budo). They have not much in common with the Jiu-Jitsu we know.
