Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art focusing on grappling and ground fighting. It is derived from Judo which was founded in the late 1800's which was developed from multiple schools of the original Japanese Jiujitsu. Like Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches the principles of technique that allow a much smaller and/or weaker opponent to defend themselves against a much larger opponent. Brazilian jiu-Jitsu incorporates joint locks and chokeholds forcing the opposition to "submit". Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be used for self-defense as well as in sport grappling tournaments or in mixed martial arts. Sport Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu uses mainly submissions without the use of strikes and allows competitors to train techniques at full speed and with full power. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a belted method and rank is usually determined by the amount of technical knowledge one can demonstrate along with performance and sparring in competition as well as dedication of time to training.
Although Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is derived from Judo, there are many differences along with the similarities. While Judo puts a greater emphasis on throws from the standing position, Brazilina Jiu-Jitsu focuses more on groundwork. Many submission techniques taught in BrazilinanJiu-Jitsu originated from Judo. However, there are techniques that are unique to Brazilian Jiu-jisu as well. The GI used in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is similar to that of a Judo GI, but with tighter fitting cuffs on the jacket and pants. This provides less material for the opponent to manipulate.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu originated in the early 1900's, but did not gain international prominence till the 1990's when Royce Gracie, son of Helio Gracie (Founder of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu) won the 2nd Ultimate Fighting Championship. Brazilina Jiu-Jitsu has since become a staple among mixed martial artists and is credited for bringing attention to the importance of ground fighting.

Boxing is a combat sport where two fighters matched in weight engage in strikes only with the fists. Professional Boxers will fight a duration of 3 minute rounds with a 1 minute rest period anywhere from 4 to 10 rounds and 12 rounds for a title match. A fighter can when several ways. One, by Knockout (KO), which occurs if the fighters is knocked down and unable to get up before the count of ten. Two, by Technical knockout (TKO), where the fighter is deemed too injured to continue. And lastly, if the fight is not stopped before the agreed number of rounds, the winner is determined by the judges decision on the score cards.
Fist fighting contests first appeared on ancient Sumerian, Egyption and Minoan wall art. The first historical records of boxing as a formal sport were provided by the ancient Greeks, who coded a formal set of rules. Modern boxing, or Western boxing, evolved in Europe, particularly in Great Britain.
