In India, Buddhist monks invented jiu-jitsu. The Japanese Samurai used it to protect themselves if they were left armless and on foot. The Samurai were unable to move freely due to their bulky armor; as a result, they favored throws, joint locks, and chokes overstrikes.

Joao Barbosa is the top-ranking Bjj fighter in the world. He is a black belt taught by Ricardo Almeida. Other than that Marcus Almeida is considered to be the best fighter of all time. As he set an impeccable record for most IBJJF Championships, he is undoubtedly the best jiu-jitsu fighter ever.

Jiu-Jitsu was developed in Japan for use by the Samurai during the Feudal period. It was also known as Hakuda, Yawara, Kogusoko, and an assortment of other names. The earliest documented use of the word "jiu-jitsu" was in 1532.

No one is really sure. Many claim that Carlos Gracie was the creator while others claim it was Carlos' younger brother Helio who created Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. There will always be controversy over who is the true founder is.

First its Jujutsu not jujitsu or juijitsu, those are old and incorrect pronouciations for jujutsu. The oldest surviving school of Jujutsu is Takenoichi ryu Jujutsu founded in 1532. Brazilian Juijitsu was founded by the Gracie's and it comes from Judo. Judo was founded in 1882 by Jigoro Kano. So Japanese Jujutsu was first.

Jiu-Jitsu means β€˜gentle art ’. Jiu-Jitsu began in Japan and was rehearsed there for a long time. Jigoro Kano created a substitute manner of martial art for jiu-jitsu, which he called Kodokan judo. In 1897, Mitsuyo Maeda started training with Kano.

What is the difference between iaido and kendo?

Japanese Jiujitsu is Aikido's Ancestor. Other styles of Jiujitsu are different, however the Japanese style which is the original style is a root of Aikido. Aikido was created so that you would not destroy your attacker, however jiujitsu is used in combat. The Samurai used techniques that look like Aikido, however it is just a form of Jiujitsu. What Morihei Ueshiba (the founder of Aikido) did was take techniques that he learned from Daito Ryu Jiujitsu and shortened them creating "Aikido". Aikido often talks about protecting your attacker. Ultimately you have the option to protect or destroy once you know techniques, it is up to the Aikidoka.
