Is judo the same as jujitsu?
Modern Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu branched out from the traditional “jujutsu” of the samurais. Today, these three main branches are practiced all over the world. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the branch set forth by the legendary Gracie family of Brazil. Modern Juno is the brainchild of Prof Jigoro Kano of Japan. Some traditional forms and schools of Jujutsu are still alive and practiced in different parts of Japan.
