Jujutsu is unarmed combat that relies on flexibility of the practitioner in adapting the technique to the strength of the opponent (ju-flexible/yielding, jutsu-art). It doesn't incorporate the "one strike" atemi philosophy of Okinawan karate, but relies on throws, joint-locks, chokes/strangles, and pressure points (with atemi). Brazilian Jiu-Jutsu is a derivative of jujutsu that focuses more on groundwork, first developed by an apostate of the Kodokan, Mitsuyo Maeda, who also trained in catch wrestling (submission wrestling).
