What is the origin of BJJ?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) traces its roots to Japanese Judo, which was brought to Brazil by Mitsuyo Maeda in the early 20th century. The Gracie family, particularly Carlos and Hélio Gracie, blended and refined techniques to create the modern martial art we know today. Maeda, trained in Judo, taught Carlos Gracie a hybrid of traditional Japanese Jujitsu and Kodokan judo in 1917. Later, the Gracie family developed their own self-defense system called Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. BJJ emphasizes ground fighting, leverage, and submission holds, making it an essential martial art for modern MMA. It revolves around the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger opponent through technique and leverage.
