The system was developed from a modified version of pre-World War II Judo including some techniques from Japanese Jujutsu and with a focus on ne-waza (ground technique). It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant. In the early 1990s, the sport was brought into prominence when competitors was very successful using Jiu-Jitsu in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
