For them that don't know what Jiu-jitsu is, then read this.
Jiu-jitsu is a kind of mix of karate, judo, and aikido (correct me if I'm wrong). Jiu-jitsu is stricly a form of selfdefence, and one of the worlds best.
You start to learn basic falling techniques when being pushed for example. You learn were the most painful and most exposted parts of the body are, and of course were to hit, and how to hit.
You learn to control the attacker (also called Uke), and how to take advantage of his strength. How to break the attackers balance.
You learn many throwing techniques, locks, and gripping techniques, for instance on the attackers wrist. These locks are VERY painful when done correct!
It means "Gentle Art". Personally I don't think the name is very appropriate. I would rather call it "Ouch!". LOL 
My knowledge is still a little limited as I only have the green belt. But here is a list of the grades you can get in Jiu-jitsu:
6 KYU - White belt
5 KYU - Yellow belt
4 KYU - Orange belt
3 KYU - Green belt
2 KYU - Blue belt
1 KYU - Brown belt
1 DAN - Black belt
You can get up to 10th DAN. 5th-10th DAN are honor grades. Meaning you have to do something for Jiu-jitsu, like founding a new type of Jiu-jitsu, or building a new dojo, etc.
I hope this was interesting! Please e-mail me if you wan't to know some more about Jiu-jitsu, and I'll post it here on the board.

Hi, I might be wrong but if you are doing a 'one step' in Judo/Ju-jitsu the person who is 'taking the fall' is the Uke, and the person performing the technique is the "Tory" (I am not sure how it is spelled). What I mean is I think it is 'reversed' from what you said, but I may be wrong

Uke is the attacker and Tori is the victim. At least in (jiu)ju-jitsu it is.  |

Sounds correct to me, although I usually concentrate on performing the techniques rather than learning terminology, because I am still learning this art greatly.

it is a lot of fun, ju-jitsu I mean. You are right it does make some use of things that are similar to Aikido, as far as I have found out Aikido is more of a 'defensive' art. Meaning you take anything your opponent does and turn it against him. I promise you Aikido HURTS, ju-jitsu is a little bit more 'toned downed' but it still does make a lot of use of things like the wrists and nerve points to subdue an opponent.
