Jujitsu

Hi,

I have seen this word written in many different ways ... and I am totally confused now.

Which of the following versions do you think are more common?
Should be written as two separate words? Written with a hyphen?

(1) ju jitsu
(2) ju jutsu
(3) jiu jitsu
(4) jujitsu
(5) jiujitsu
( 6) ju-jitsu
(7) jiu-jitsu

and probably several more?

thank you in advance!
