What does BJJ stand for?

beginnerhistory

BJJ stands for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. People spell it many ways - Jiu Jitsu, Jiu-Jitsu, Jiujitsu - all mean the same thing. The "Brazilian" part matters because the Gracie family in Brazil transformed an older Japanese art into something completely different, focused almost entirely on fighting from the ground.
