Jujutsu (not to be mistaken for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) is a Japanese martial art, well-known for its use of grappling techniques, such as throws, joint locks, pins, and chokes, with some schools also teaching strikes. Traditionally, weapon techniques were not taught, as Jujutsu was meant to used by a Samurai that had lost their weapon(s).
