ABSTRACT Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practices, which are practiced for a variety of reasons: self-defense, competition, physical health and fitness, entertainment, as well as mental, physical, and spiritual development. Although the term martial art has become heavily associated with the fighting arts of eastern Asia, it was originally used in regard to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. An English fencing manual of 1639 used the term in reference specifically to the "Science and Art" of swordplay. The term is ultimately derived from Latin, and means "arts of Mars," where Mars is the Roman god of war. Some authors, most notably Donn F. Draeger, have argued that fighting arts or fighting systems would be more appropriate on the basis that many martial arts were never martial in the sense of being used or created by professional warriors. The history of control systems dates back to the origins of mankind. However, since the nineteenth century, the modern concept of martial arts arises. The term "martial arts" is derived from the Chinese characters made by w sh and w y. Chinese English Dictionary Chinese-Ingls Diction, Herbert A. Giles, 1882, w y translates as 'military arts'. W sh the term is not used until 1931, in the Chinese-Ingls Dictionary, Mathews. The term also appears in 1920, in the Japanese-Ingls Dictionary of Takenobu, in the translation from Japanese bu-gei or bu-jutsu as 'the art or performance of military affairs'. Other common pronunciations of the pair of characters are mou SEUT in Cantonese and Vietnamese VO-

Thuat. In China during the Republican Period, from 1928 to 1949, the Chinese fighting systems as guoshu or Kuoshu baptized. The origin of the concept of martial arts associated with the emergence of the modern age in the Far East in the 19th century. This phenomenon led to the transformation of feudal social structures , the use of firearms that were losing their relevance to traditional forms of struggle and the demise of the principles by which the world is governed . The martial name comes from Mars, the Roman god of war. Eastern martial arts, in some cases, were practiced in closed circles were distinctive or a related militia elite and nobility, as was the case of Samurai2 three warriors, and their content was well beyond what constituted training troops . In China and Korea by contrast, looked in the 19th and early 20th century , the martial arts and its practitioners with contempt, due to the rise of Confucianism , as part of state policy , which weakened the component When the military nation.4 traditional military arts lost their crucial place in the domain of society and the defense of the country , became an option for the development of the nation to improve physically and spiritually to the population, which has contributed to much of the knowledge of the practical applications of the same loss. At present the traditional Oriental martial arts practice even include a precise code of ethics rooted in Chinese Confucianism, Shinto and Japanese spirituality of Zen Buddhism In addition, some martial arts such as tai chi chuan, is preserved as a practice to improve physical and mental health. From this situation arose in Japan, Do or ' way ' . Such as: Judo, Karate -Do, Aikido, Kendo, Kobudo, and through them , somewhat later in Korea : taekwondo, hapkido, and tangsudo and in China the " Chuan fa" or Kung fu resulted in more late wushu. The success of martial arts emerged as a reinterpretation of historical military arts, led combat systems that were recovered in different cultures with and without traditional weapons. Thus, the ancient traditions differ or classical schools known as ( koryu budo ) relative to modern traditional martial arts emerged after the Meiji Restoration (1868) or ( Gendai budo ) in Japan , China and Chinese martial arts that resulted in modern wushu.

trauma , regulation psychophysics ( chi kung ( qigong ) ) therapy (acupuncture , acupressure , herbal ) and other related areas TCM . This is a natural extension of martial art because, at an advanced level , techniques benefit from a detailed knowledge of physiology and energetic functioning in the body of the adversary in order to increase the efficiency of them. In addition, practitioners of various traditional martial arts have begun to rediscover the different methods of constructing ancient weapons, from swords forging to assembling catapults and siege towers , reproduction armor and costumes and investigation of customs and traditional knowledge belonging to these techniques. 3.

Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that originated in the battlefields of feudal Japan where the Samurai fought with weapons, but once the weapons were neglected entered the melee, comprising levers to submit projections dislocations , strangle or even kill the opponent. Gasto Gracie was of Scottish descent , was also a diplomat of the Brazilian government and a very influential person in society then. He was a business partner of the American Circus in Belm at the time, hired an expert Mitsuyo Maeda Japanese man for Japanese martial arts exhibitions and businesses in the circus. Children of Gasto Gracie (Carlos and Helio Gracie), saw a

demonstration of Maeda at the Da Paz Theatre and decided to learn Judo, Jiu Jitsu or Kano as he was known. Maeda accepted them as students.

Helio Gracie and Carlos Gracie learned jiu -jitsu from the hands of Japanese sensei Mitsuyo Maeda, a master of Judo Jigoro Kano nearby , the founder of Judo. Carlos and Helio specialized in this system of Jiu- jitsu fight testing him in actual combat, able to overcome in various martial arts tournaments . As said by the master Mitsuyo Maeda: "must take the fight to more favorable terrain for oneself. Seeking to test the effectiveness of Jiu - jitsu, Helio even came to challenge Joe Louis, mythical world champion heavyweight boxing in the 40s, but the former champion did not accept the challenge. Helio then fought throughout Brazil , in countless tournaments , contests and fights without rules , achieving significant victories achieved his martial art was recognized as highly effective . In 1951, Hlio faced a great wrestler Judo, Japanese Masahiko Kimura, who defeated Helio Gracie trapping him in one of his favorite arm called dislocations ude-garami and renamed by Gracie as' Kimura lock 'or' key Kimura 'in his honor. His brother, who stood in the corner threw in the towel to see that Helio was caught with a good key, which could break his arm. The Jiu -Jitsu came to worldwide fame thanks to television in the early nineties, a period in which Royce Gracie, son of Helio Gracie, exponent and expert in Jiu -Jitsu wins the first 1993, second 1994 and fourth championship UFC 1994, Ultimate Fighting Championship which at the time were single elimination . Royce fought against much larger opponents often and practicing other styles such as kickboxing, kempo, Shootfighting, wrestling, Taekwondo, among others. Once again, as it did his father Helio Gracie in Brazil 40 years ago , the Jiu -Jitsu represented in this case by Royce Gracie proved especially effective at winning this , the tournament .

Therefore the benefits it can have a bigger opponent standing as a broader and more powerful attacks are largely canceled when ground fighting . The Jiu -Jitsu allows a wide variety of throwing techniques and takedown to take the fight to the ground. Once the opponent is on the floor , a series of movements ( and against movement ) with the help of the inertia is used to manipulate the opponent in a position suitable for the application of a technique for the win.
