Jujutsu (Japanese: 柔術 jūjutsu, Japanese pronunciation: [dʑɯːʑɯtsɯ] or [dʑɯꜜːʑɯtsɯ] ⓘ[1]), also known as jiu-jitsu and ju-jitsu (both joo-JITS-oo[2]), is a family of Japanese martial arts and a system of close combat (unarmed or with a minor weapon) that can be used in a defensive or offensive manner to kill or subdue one or more weaponless or armed and armored opponents.[3][4] A subset of techniques from certain styles of jujutsu were used to develop many modern martial arts and combat sports, such as judo, aikido, sambo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu (via judo), ARB and mixed martial arts.
