Gene Simco – The History of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
The History of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu "Where did it all begin?" I don't think anyone can answer this question with certainty, but there are plenty of good hypotheses. Every culture has some form of hand to hand combat in its history. Combat without weapons usually appears in the form of wrestling and sometimes boxing. Looking at the history timeline, one good hypothesis is that the wrestling techniques of Jiu-Jitsu could very well have come from Ancient Greece.
