Jiu-Jitsu originated in Japan as a martial art focused on hand-to-hand combat without the use of weapons. Initially developed by the samurai as a form of defense in case they lost their swords, Jiu-Jitsu utilized leverage techniques, throws, and immobilizations to defeat opponents. However, it was in Brazil, in the early 20th century, that the art evolved into what we now know as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, largely thanks to the Gracie family. They adapted the Japanese techniques, prioritizing the efficiency of movements and ground-fighting strategy, allowing a smaller person to defeat larger opponents. Since then, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has become one of the most popular martial arts in the world, influencing international competitions like MMA and standing out as one of the most effective forms of self-defense. Beyond the physical aspect, Jiu-Jitsu teaches values such as respect, patience, and perseverance, becoming a journey of personal development for students of all ages.
