Well kind of... Brazilian JiuJitsu is based on a modified version of the traditional Japanese Jujutsu called "jiu-do" which is based on the idea of the soft overcoming the hard. In other words, a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant.

Daito-ryu Aiki Jujutsu is a traditional Japanese martial art which is said to be about one thousand years old. However, it was only opened to the public for the first time by Takeda Sokaku (1860-1943) one hundred years ago. All the people who had the opportunity to witness Sokaku Sensei's techniques were struck with wonder at his high level of skill. All types of jujutsu martial arts utilise the opponent's power. Sokaku Sensei's art was the same in this respect, except that in addition to ju, Sokaku Sensei utilised an additional power. He called it Aiki.

The Australian Government through the Australian Sports Commission recognises the Australian Jujitsu Federation to develop jujitsu at all levels in Australia
