Jiu Jitsu is a self-defense art rooted in Japan and its samurai warriors. The word 柔術 (jūjutsu) is composed of two kanji characters. 柔 (jū) "yielding flexibility" and 術 (jutsu) "art, skill." In time, the development has taken this effective martial art beyond the Asian continental border. Indeed, history has brought together Jiu Jitsu and a Brazilian family with Scottish roots called Gracie. This was to have a significant contribution to the development and success of the art of self-defense.
