I put ''sport'' as 'sport'.
Wiki says it sport and it is full contact
Says its roots are Judo, which is a sport
Polo (calvary) and soccer (infantry) are former military based but now are $$$$ based. If this was still only practiced by a bunch of eastern monks in some impossible to get to location, I buy the martial "art" argument.
Bruce Lee and Karate Kid means it is an "art" no more and $$$$ has taken the lead.
Still does not explain why you have not put Brazilian jiu jitsu in the thread title for more clarity!

Brazilian Jiujitsu does indeed come from Judo, which comes from the original Jiujitsu -- it's kind of a weird way it trickled down, but that being said: BJJ is absolutely a self-defense system, as is Judo.
It's absolutely a martial art, and employed by many militaries around the world.
