Chess where the pieces choke each other and losing means tapping before you nap.
means A Japanese martial art built on grappling, joint locks, and throws — using an opponent's own force and momentum against them rather than meeting strength with strength.
from From Japanese jūjutsu, combining jū (柔), meaning 'gentle' or 'yielding,' and jutsu (術), meaning 'art' or 'technique' — so literally 'the gentle art.' The name captures the core philosophy: a smaller, weaker person can overcome a larger one by yielding to force and redirecting it, rather than resisting head-on. It developed among samurai as a way to defend oneself when disarmed on the battlefield, and later gave rise to judo, which refined and systematized many of its throws and locks.
