The difference between Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and submission grappling is in the grips. In the stand-up game, the grips provided by the BJJ uniform allow for many judo-style throwing and submission techniques, while submission grappling take-downs resemble those of traditional wrestling.

It's often erroneously referred to as unarmed fighting techniques; however, though stressing unarmed combat, it also employs a variety of weapons. Additionally, it employs various methods of kicking, striking, kneeling, throwing, chocking, bone and joint locking, as well as controlling an adversary. Jujutsu is also the basis for two eclectic Japanese systems, Judo and Aikido.
