jiujutsu
Martial art, submissions
Jiujutsu is a Japanese martial art focused on grappling, joint locks, and using an opponent's force against them rather than relying on strikes.
The art emphasizes technique over strength, allowing smaller practitioners to defeat larger opponents.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu, developed from Japanese jiujutsu, focuses specifically on ground fighting and submissions.
Also spelled jujitsu or jujutsu.
