Weird? Pretty much.

Actually, "judo" is the modern/derived sport (late 1800's) largely (but not solely!) from jiu-jitsu by the founder Jigaro Kano.
Aikido is even more modern, created by "the founder" (O-Sensei Morihei Ueshiba) in the early/mid part of last century. It is based on earlier systems, including "aiki-jujutsu." Ueshiba was a very spiritual man, and his art reflects this; it's one of the least "combative" martial arts around.
Finally worth noting is the "Gracie" (also called "Brazilian") style of jiu-jitsu, which is a bit less formalized (and much more groundwork & grapple-centric) than most of the ancestral Japanese styles. A key figure was actually a Judoka who specialized in groundwork, who introduced the Gracie family to his style.
Jiu-jitsu itself (formalized styles of grapple-centric combat in Japan) is well over 1000 years old, with earliest written records about 1300 years ago, although the name "jujutsu" (or however you want to latinize the spelling) is "only" a few centuries old.
Here endeth the martial-arts geekery. ;-)

Ah, yes . Thank you. You even have names. One never stops learning.
I read about that it is supposed to have its origin in China and somehow came to Japan, and was practiced by the samurai.
We have the Brazilian one here, too. Since I think about 8-10 years.
Dina:
Thanks for the explanation to both of you
PilgrimDan:
@Regenbogen - ex-SEAL Jocko Willink recommends Jiu-Jitsu (probably of the Brazilian variety) and Muay Thai for martial arts training.
Also: sorry I’ve been a stranger, but my laptop crashed on me and I’m on a borrowed iPad until I can the computer shop opens again.
((((((Turboninjaglomphugs for all))))))
Dina:
(((((PD))))) Sorry to hear about your laptop, I hope you find a good replacement soon. Meanwhile, how are you doing? How is this crazy situation treating you?
PilgrimDan:
I think I’m about ready to paint myself blue, run off to live in the woods and find some really good mushrooms. It seems to be the only logical response.
Does that get across how bored and tired of the lock down I am?
What about you?
