Actually, as much as I love jui-jitsu, judo is much better than traditional japanese jiu-jitsu. (not brazilian)

Judo branched off from JJJ, and turned it into a sport where they were actually able to test their techniques in live situations, and jiu-jitsu stuck with practice and never developed.

Judo took off as a much bigger thing, and BJJ spawned from that and has become its own thing, taking the ground work of Judo and simplifying and making it work more on leverage than strength.
