Jujitsu is a Japanese martial art focused on leverage, joint locks, and submission techniques for self-defense. It emphasizes yielding and redirecting an opponent's force, rather than relying on strength. Jujitsu includes throws, joint manipulations, pins, and strikes, influencing modern martial arts like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and judo. It promotes discipline, fitness, and practical self-defense.
