Martial Arts Belts Jiu JitsuBrazilian Jiu-Jitsu has vast similarities to the original Kodokan Judo,[27][28] widely practiced before Judo became part of the Olympics, and still practiced in lesser extent,[29][30][31][32] as well as some similarity to earlier ryu (schools) Ju-Jitsu.[33] It has also been argued that the Brazilians didn’t actually create any fundamental innovations within the art,[34] This has led some practitioners to suggest that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu should just be called “Jiu-Jitsu”[35] or even Kosen Judo.[36]

BJJ focuses on submissions without the use of strikes, while training allows practitioners to practice at full speed and with full strength, resembling the effort used in competition. Training methods include technique drills in which techniques are practiced against a non-resisting partner; isolation sparring (commonly referred to as positional drilling) where only a certain technique or sets of techniques are used; and full sparring where each practitioner tries to submit their opponent through technique. Physical conditioning is also an important aspect of training.

Although the Gracie family is typically recognized as the main family to first develop Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as we know it today, there was also another prominent lineage derived from Maeda via another Brazilian disciple, Luiz França.[18] This lineage had been represented particularly by Oswaldo Fadda. Fadda and his students were famous for the influential use of footlocks[19] and the lineage still survives through Fadda’s links in teams such as Nova União and Grappling Fight Team.[20]

Joint locks include armbars, kimuras, Americanas, straight-arm lock, omoplata, gogoplata, marceloplata, banana split (or electric chair), twister, Peruvian necktie, Japanese necktie, wrist lock, heel hook, toehold, kneebar, straight ankle lock, and others.[53]

The first official belt ranking system was created in 1967 by the Jiu-Jitsu Federation of Guanabara.[citation needed] Much of the current criteria and modern belt ranks were implemented by the Sport Jiu Jitsu International Federation (SJJIF) and International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation.

Few published guidelines or standards determine when a practitioner is ready for promotion; the criterion is generally determined by individual instructors and/or academies.[23][24] The IBJJF maintains an extensive graduation system that takes into account time-in-grade and membership standing, but makes no mention of specific performance or skill requirements.[1] When instructors or academies comment on the criteria for promotion, the most widely accepted measures are the amount of technical and conceptual knowledge a practitioner can demonstrate, and;[25] performance in grappling (randori) within the academy and/or competition.[26]

A less common type of submission hold is a compression lock, where the muscle of an opponent is compressed against a hard, large bone (commonly the shin or wrist), causing significant pain to the opponent. These types of locks are not usually allowed in competition due to the high risk of tearing muscle tissue. This type of lock also often hyper-extends the joint in the opposite direction, pulling it apart. Some compression locks include the Achilles lock, Bicep slicer, and Leg slicer (or Calf slicer).
