Jiu (Romanian:Jiu; Hungarian:Zsil) is a river of Southern Romania. It is formed near Petroşani by the confluence of two streams: the western and the eastern Jiu (which rise from the Vālcan and Parāng Mountains)
It flows Southward through the Romanian counties Hunedoara, Gorj and Dolj before flowing into the river Danube a few km upstream from the Bulgarian city of Oryakhovo, 331 kilometers from its sources. It has a basin of 10,070 km2.
The art began when Mitsuyo Maeda, a master of Japanese jujitsu and judo/Jiu-do, which was the changing of jujutsu training methods to a non-lethal degree and also where Helio Gracie got the word "jiu" from.
For promotion to fl belt the minimum age is 18 years old or older according to the main regulating body of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the International Federation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Stripes may be awarded to any rank below fl belt, but like the belts themselves, tend to be given at the instructor's discretion, and may be in recognition of accomplishments like noticeably improving or victories in a tournament.
