What is the difference between Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Japanese Jujitsu (Jujutsu)?

The first and most important reason can be found in the art’s history and is primary to all others discussed afterward. When you research the history of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, you will understand that it came from “Judo” in its time of renaissance. In the early 1900’s, Judo was being developed from a variety of Jiu-jitsu styles in order to make it the most complete and effective martial art in the world. Some older Jiu-jitsu schools only focused on one area of fighting (some practiced primarily standing techniques) and had been left without a realistic battlefield testing ground for hundreds of years. If you recall the history of Judo’s beginning, you know that it was made up of mostly standing techniques at first, from Kito Ryu Jiu-jitsu and a few other styles. This alone was not enough, so the groundwork of Fusen Ryu was added, making it more complete. When you say “traditional” or “Japanese” Jiu-jitsu, you are referring to only one of these Jiu-jitsu styles, which is incomplete alone.
