1: Title

2: What is Jiu-Jitsu?
Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art that focuses on grappling, submissions, and
ground fighting. In english, it means «flexible art». Originating from
Japan, it was developed as a way for samurai to defend themselves
without weapons in close combat situations by Hisamori Tenenuchi, who
was the one to officially establish the first school of jiu-jitsu. Over time, it
evolved into various styles practiced worldwide.

3: Key Elements
• Throws and Takedowns: Techniques to bring your opponent to the
ground
• Submissions: Joint locks and chokeholds used to force an opponent
to submit
• Ground Control: Techniques for controlling an opponent while on the
ground.
• Escape and Counter Techniques: Escaping or countering holds and
submissions

4: Grading System
The grading system in Jiu-Jitsu is important for recognizing skill
progression and giving practitioners goals to strive toward. Different
types of Jiu-Jitsu may have different grading systems, but common
elements include:
• Belts (BJJ): White, blue, purple, brown, black.
• Kyu/Dan Ranks (Judo): Ranks based on colored belts (beginner to
advanced)

5: Different Types of Jiu-Jitsu


Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ):
• Ground fighting and submissions
• Emphasizes leverage and technique over strength
• Known for its gi and no-gi forms (gi = vest)
Judo:
• Derived from Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, created by Jigoro Kano
• Emphasizes throws and pins
• Judo practitioners use a gi, and the focus is on competitions
and sports (while classical juijitsu focuses more on self-
defense than competition)
•
Sambo (Soviet Jiu-Jitsu):
• Focuses on throws, submissions, and leg locks
• Popularized in the early 1920s by the Red Army and other
forces, basically the point is to merge all the good things from
multiple martial arts to be the most efficient

6: Duo System
• Emphasizes paired performance
• Practitioners are evaluated based on how they execute techniques
with a partner

Connecting Jiu-Jitsu with Ice Skating


Jiu-Jitsu is often thought of as a martial art but the principles of
progression, balance, and technique can also be applied in other areas.
Take ice skating, for example. Just like Duo-System, ice skating demands:
• Control and precision both in movements and techniques.
• Pair work: In synchronized ice skating or partner routines, teamwork
and coordination are key, much like how Duo-System athletes
needs to work closely with their partner to perform their
choregraphy.
