Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. It is a derivative of early 20th century Kodokan Judo, which was itself then a recently-developed system (founded in 1882), based on multiple schools (or Ryu) of Japanesee jujutsuu.
BJJ has become a staple art for many MMA fighters and is largely credited for bringing widespread attention to the importance of ground fighting.
