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.

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.

Ah...... Jiu-Jitsu is one of the BEST Martial Arts you can do. If you disagree with me, go take a bath with a toaster. Jiu-Jitsu can be for everyone! Only if you are not lazy af. There are many Jiu-Jitsu gyms around the world! United States, Brazil, Mexico, France, and many more gyms! You can defend yourself if anyone tries to threaten you. If you see the Giphy, you would see Jimmy Fallon getting choked! Haha.....Jokes.
Guy 1: "hey, wanna go see if there is any Jiu-Jitsu gyms around here?"
Guy 2: "Nah, I would rather watch some TV with some popcorn and---"
Guy 1:" Alright then, guess who will be getting some girls after training!"
Guy 2:"Bruce Lee"
Guy 1: "You dumb af"

Mostly a name for modern practical self-defense systems, which are founded after WWII in western countries as a combination of Judo, Karate and Aikido, specialized to use it against modern day attacks. Synonymous words like Jujitsu, Ju-Jitsu or Ju-Jutsu are widely used.
Also name of a combination of western boxing and wrestling with self-defense "tricks", brought from Japan to Europe and the US around 1900 to 1920. In later years often practiced as a companion to judo or as "judo self-defense" until the modern systems were founded. This Jiu-Jitsu often was presented in film, e.g. in the Mr. Moto movies (starring Peter Lorre).
Self-defense arts called Jiu-Jitsu should not be mistaken with ancient Japanese Jujutsu styles, which are traditional, classical bujutsu (martial skills) of the Japanese warriors (samurai) and are in fact koryu (ancient budo). They have not much in common with the Jiu-Jitsu we know.

(Japanese) Jiu Jitsu is most defenetly the best martial art there is. The objecitive is to weaken your opponent by kicking and punching. After that you throw him/her on the ground and choke or hold your opponent to make him/her give up.
Unlike karate you dont have to bow to every fucking thing in the room.
