*Ju = Supple, malleable (sometimes translated gentle or soft, which Judo is not if you are the one being thrown)
jitsu = art
Other acceptable spellings include: Jujutsu, Jiujitsu, Jiujutsu
I and U can be sometimes exchanged in Japanese translation For example the Karate kata Jutte can be written Jitte, for "10 Hands." However, "ju" is the correct spelling for the number "10."
