Jujutsu is the original Japanese style that Brazilians derived their style from(The Gracie Family in particular).

Brazilians(via the Gracie family) arrogantly changed the spelling from "Jujutsu" to "Jujitsu" to distinguish their style without having knowledge of what this meant linguistically. It all comes from Japan but Westerners recklessly adopted "JuJitsu" without even knowing the history.

To be surgically accurate, I shall break down the arts's conceptual application based on its name: "Ju" means to sieze, grapple, arrest, or hold. And "Jutsu" means "technique" or "science", literally. So, "Jujutsu" as a literal translation is: Grapple-technique. When the Brazilian Gracie Family learned "Jujutsu", (grapple-technique) from the Japanese, they changed the spelling arrogantly in a means to claim real-estate in the style. This is why the Japanese still beef with the Brazilians to this day. The Brazilians felt like they didn't have to pay homage for the techniques that they inherited from the Japanese.


So in a nutshell, everytime some westerner calls the style, "Jujitsu", you are blatantly disregarding the Japanese origins of the style.
