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.

Literally translate to "Gentle Arts" in Japanese. In theory created more than 2000 years before Christ in India, by a monk who did not have a weapon to defeat themselves from barbarian attacks. The influences spread to China and eventually had taken root to Japan. The arts were elaborated and used in the Samurai Era to be the first martial arts ever known in Japan. This traditional arts involved in striking, throwing, or grappling. Hence the disciple of karate, judo, and aikido.
Arguably the most influential person in history of jiu-jitsu is Mitsuyo "Esai" Maeda

Pure distilled evil in liquid form. Chinese firewater that could be used to put a man on a moon of a planet in a far off galaxy. It tastes like a combination of the fires of hell, rotten Indian food and the after effect of China Syndrome. Health warnings do not apply. If you are stupid enough to drink it, you deserve everything you get. All it has going for it is that it burns with a rather fetching blue flame. Other uses can be an engine de-greaser, curry stain remove and glass etcher.
We could avert the forthcoming petrol shortage by filling every car with watered down Bai Jiu.

Jiu jitsu is one of the core arts of MMA, if you don’t know what that is, stop reading.

Using frames and levers with the skeleton, given enough time and effort, anyone from a fit ex rock climber, wrestler, soccer player, etc, to the fattest, slob fuck at the grocery, to the small woman in your office, jiu jitsu will allow you to completely, if wanted or warranted, completely fucking ruin someone.
That little nerdy dude over there is in my jiu jitsu class. He will fuck you up so bad, so fast, and there will be almost nothing that you could do to stop it.
