The history of Judo
Judo was created at Japon in the 19th century by Jigoro Kano. It is based on techniques from jujitsu, a traditional Japanese martial art. Kano wanted to remove the dangerous elements of this art and make it a safe and effective competitive sport. He also wanted to make it a way to develop the personality and the morality of the practitioners. Judo became an Olympic sport in 1964.
The history of Jiu-Jitsu
Jiu-Jitsu is a Brazilian martial art that is derived from Japanese Judo. It was developed by Carlos Gracie and his family in the early 20th century. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu focuses on ground techniques, chokes and joint locks, which are less present in Judo. It is also used for self-defense and personal development. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has become very popular in combat sports such as UFC.
