BRAZILIAN JUI-JITSU

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art that is considered a modified version of modern day Japanese Judo and Ju Jutsu, with much more emphasis on grappling and ground fighting. This combat sport focuses on competition and gaining dominant positions, but is differentiated from Judo and Ju Jutsu by the absence of most of the rules that lead to the competitors having to break and restart from a standing position.
It began with the teachings of Judo master Mitsuyo Maeda, who immigrated to Brazil from Japan in 1914. Maeda taught many different people his techniques, including police officers and military officials. In 1917, he met an influential businessman named Gastão Gracie who helped him establish his martial arts school in Brazil. Gastão had several sons who later became students of the techniques taught by Maeda. The Gracie family continued to develop the system throughout the 20th century.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu came to international prominence in the martial arts community in the 1990s, when Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu expert Royce Gracie won the first, second and fourth Ultimate Fighting Championships, which at the time were single elimination mixed martial arts tournaments. Royce fought against often much larger opponents who were practicing many other fighting styles, including boxing, shoot-fighting, karate, tae kwon do and wrestling.
