Many people refer to Jiu Jitsu as being the original Mixed Martial Art as it forms the basis of several others such as Judo, Karate and Aikido.
Judo is the throwing aspect of Jiu Jitsu moves that was extracted so that the throws could be practiced more safely in a competitive arena.
Karate was the striking aspect that was extracted so the striking elements of Jiu Jitsu could be practiced as a separate entity.
Aikido is the joint manipulating techniques where these flowing techniques are used to great effect, oftentimes taking advantage of the limited range of motion of a person’s joints to control their movement.
Some of the more traditional Styles of Jiu Jitsu will also include weapons such as “The Sword”
