Ju-Jitsu: (Jujutsu, Jiu Jitsu, Jiujutsu) (literally "the gentle fighting art") is an empty handed extension of the sword fighting art of the Japanese Samurai. The actual ancient art is called Aiki Ju-Jitsu. This involves joint locks, throws, strikes, blocks, and chokes. Aiki Ju-Jitsu went through some changes in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Jigoro Kano removed many of the dangerous techniques to create Judo ("the gentleway"). This allowed students to practice full speed against resisting opponents, but with far fewer injuries that happened when Ju-Jitsu was practiced at full speed. About the same time, Morehei Uyeshibatook a different set of techniques out to create Aikido. (A jitsu is a fighting style. A do is a way.) About the same time, a Korean named Yong Suhl Choi combined Ju-Jitsu techniques with the kicks and punches so prevalent in Korean martial arts to create Hapkido. (Hapkido is the Korean pronunciation of the Kanji that in Japanese is pronounced Aikido. (Resource:Stanford AJJ)
