Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a mix of grappling and mixed martial arts that originated in Brazil. The core principles of BJJ were derived from Jiu Jitsu, which originated in Japan and was brought over to Brazil. The sport grew, new techniques were introduced and formed the new martial art practice called Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. BJJ tends to be more aggressive in style where Jiu Jitsu is a more relaxed style often called “soft style”. The striking, groundwork, and submissions show the difference between these two styles.
