Most martial arts often originally followed this ideal and many will still espouse it. I'm sure Jujitsu was largely the same way originally but the main thing that seems to separate MMA from everything else is the scope and the competition focus. It incorporates striking and grappling and all of the techniques are tested time and time again in actual (simulated) fights. To me it's the training that set it apart from other martial arts, not the ideals.
