What little I know
The topic I have chosen for research is the origin of Jiu-Jitsu, and the splits it has undergone since the formal creation. What I do currently know about Jiu-Jitsu is not alot, I know that it started in Japan, and that it had two major offshoots, Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Other than that all I know is how to do Jiu-Jitsu, so needless to say that only barely helps me write a paper. Some of my main research points will be finding out who was the first to coin Jiu-Jitsu, also what influenced them to form this style of fighting. Then hopefully find out some information on how the Gi and Dojos came about, and how they along with the martial art have evolved. For the last half of my research I will find out what made the decision for people to branch off to create Judo, and later Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Already my love of the sport has me very interested in finding out all there is to know about the history, so that I can know what it is and not just how to do the moves.

I really like that you are going into this research project with a genuine interest in the topic and are focused on specific areas of the development of Jiu-Jitsu. This topic interests me as well, and I would love to read your paper after you're finished with it. I've always wanted to learn some sort of martial art, and when I think of MMA and how it's incorporated into the UFC, I think of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Good luck with your research! (:
