Jiu Jitsu History
Here is a little Brazilian Jiu Jitsu history before starting to train jiu jitsu in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or BJJ, is a self-defense system that concentrates on grappling or ground fighting.
The art was derived from the Japanese martial art of Kodokan Judo in the early 20th century.
It teaches that a smaller, and occasionally weaker, person can successfully defend against a larger, stronger attacker by utilizing proper strategy and leverage.
The most typical methods to defeat a bigger adversary is thru joint locks or chokeholds.
Mitsuyo Maeda began to travel around the world in 1904 doing Judo demonstrations and challenging Fighters, wrestlers and other martial artists to fights.
He arrived in Brazil Nov fourteen, 1914.
In Brazil, in the northwards state of Para, he befriended Gast?o Gracie, an influential businessman, who helped Maeda get established. To show his appreciation, Maeda offered to teach Judo to Gast?o's oldest son, Carlos Gracie. Carlos learned for a few years and eventually passed his knowledge to his brothers.
One day, when Helio Gracie was 16 years old, a student turned out for class when Carlos was not around. Helio, who had memorized all of the systems from watching his bros teach, offered to start the class. When the class was over, Carlos showed up and says sorry for his delay. The scholar asked for Helio to keep on being his instructor, Helio Gracie then steadily developed Gracie Jiu Jitsu as an adaption from Judo as he was unable to do many Judo moves.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu become one of the most renowned kinds of martial arts in 1994 when the Gracie Family started the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
When the littler guys were tapping out the bigger stronger fellows everyone knew they wished to start learning BJJ.
