摘要：The aim of this article was to analyse and describe the scientific production related to jiu-jitsu, in order to identify trends, gaps and research possibilities. Searches on the digital data basis Web of Science, SciELO, Scopus, PubMed, Bireme, LILACS and Redalyc, besides Capes’s digital thesis library, and thematic analysis on 105 articles, 2 theses and 23 dissertations, yielded the following main results: a) numerical inequality between different research approaches and subareas, as well as study subjects; b) the profiles of participants in those studies are highly diverse, and most are male non-competitors; c) Brazil stands out in academic production on jiu-jitsu; d) increasing quantitative and qualitative research; e) process of internationalization of research. The study found that, just as in the sports field as a whole, research on jiu-jitsu is in full expansion, mainly in Brazil, with gaps that are potential areas of interest for future investigation.
