How Did Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Arise?
A group of Japanese martial artists, the Kodokan, is the original source of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Kano Jigoro, one of the members of the Kodokan, sent out his followers to different parts of the world to spread the knowledge of his teachings. Mitsuyo Maeda was sent to Brazil and he began to share the art of what would become known as jiu-jitsu to the citizens there. Though the martial art was actually closer to judo, the name was not as important as the actions.
One of the people that Maeda was in contact with was a man with the last name Gracie. Brazilian jiu-jitsu is very much linked to the Gracie name and this is where it started. Carlos Gracie started being taught by Maeda and then in 1921, transferred his learning to his brothers, including the youngest, Helio. Helio adapted the teachings so that he, as a more compact man, could overpower much bigger foes. This became a key facet of jiu-jitsu and it would be established time and again in matches that size really doesn't matter in combat.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu got its name when the Gracies came to America. In 1978, Helio's son, Rorion Gracie, moved to California and began teaching jiu-jitsu out of his garage. Eventually, he was able to open a proper jiu-jitsu academy as word spread about his abilities and people learned more about the history of this fighting style. The Gracie Challenge was issued to any fighter in order to prove just how superior this fighting style was. Rorion and his fighters defeated many others from different fighting styles and the reputation of this form of jiu-jitsu continued to grow.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu took off throughout the planet in the early 1990s, with the creation of the Ultimate Fighting Championship matches. These were mixed martial arts fights that were mostly no-holds-barred events that paired fighters of dissimilar disciplines. Royce Gracie jumped to fame and triumph by taking three of the first four events, mostly by defeating opponents much larger than he and by way of submission holds on the floor. It became apparent that his martial art methods were considerably superior to those of other disciplines and Brazilian jiu jitsu schools arose all over North America.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu still continues to be one of the most effective forms of fighting, with Gracie jiu jitsu being recognized in its own right as a separate discipline. From Japan to Brazil and then to America and finally the world, the Gracies have had tremendous success in proving the excellence of their abilities and of their chosen discipline. The future only looks bright as jiu-jitsu continues to be extremely popular for martial artists and for those who watch the fights.
One of the best forms of martial arts to study if you are interested in MMA fighting is Brazilian jiu jitsu. With its grappling holds and close combat style, the jiu-jitsu technique is a favorite among UFC contenders.
Japanese vs. Brazilian Grappling?
It is known that grappling is effective when confronting striking specialists. Wrestling is touted for takedowns, and both Japanese styles and their derivatives are known for wrestling.
OVerall, though, which style, between Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and Kodokan Judo is a more complete and practical grappling style. Which would be better in a real street fight. BJJ is sometimes frowned upon for cxoncerning just one opponent, but against multiples, most styles make a moot point. And can't many Bjj locks be used while standing?
Just trying to discern the differences and practicality between two arts, the parent and the offspring.

Thanks for the first answer, I forgot about this fact.
In a street fight.... Judo because you throw as well as submission. BJJ is mostly ground fighting. Even better would be Japanese Jiu Jitsu. They teach you take on multiple opponents from any angle, as well as throws joint locks and ground fighting.
