what is the difference between Jujitsu and Brazilian Jujitsu Jujutsu is a catagory for a wide variety of different Japanese MA. The common thread seems to be that you are either lightly armed or totally unarmed.

BJJ is an unamred style, primarily grappling, and particularly well known for their ground fighting skill.

And how and where Jujitsu was formed and how it has evolved into BJJ and the JJ of today. That's quite a complex issue, there seems to be some debate over exactly where BJJ derives. I'm not particularly knowledgable about it, but from what I've heard, BJJ was developed from judo, and judo was developed from a whole range of older jujutsu schools. If you want to know aout classical jujutsu there's an article at koryu.com about it.
