What's the difference between judo and jujitsu?

No, he%26#039;s not.





In short, Jujutsu is what the martial art the Samurai trained in, and used on the battlefield in the event they were unarmed. Jujutsu is not only grappling, it is self defense from strikes, grabs, takedowns, and weapons, through the use of atemi, throws and takedowns, and joint-locks.





When the Meiji era came along, the Samurai were outlawed along with much of the practice of these arts that were used on the battlefield. To preserve a part of Jujutsu, Jigoro Kano created Judo, which incorporated the standing throws and takedowns, ground positioning, and submissions. He maximized the efficiency of the techniques and added his own variations based on the same principles of those already in use. Judo was later developed into a combat sport.





Gracie/Brazilian Jujutsu was born from Judoka Mitsuo Maeda%26#039;s teachings abroad of Judo. It is centered on taking an opponent to the ground. To reiterate, there is almost nothing in Brazilian Jujutsu that isn%26#039;t in Judo, Judokas just don%26#039;t emphasize ground techniques as much. And from what I%26#039;ve learned from judomofo, Judokas don%26#039;t practice joint-locks on the leg as much, and practice chokes more then most who train in Brazilian Jujutsu.|||judo is take downs and some ground fighting, jiujitsu is pure ground fighting and some takedowns.|||How it%26#039;s taught and applied. As time passed and battle became less on the back of war, the %26#039;jutsu%26#039; suffix was removed a while back and replaced with the %26#039;do%26#039; becuase %26#039;jutsu%26#039; implied lethal arts, while %26#039;do%26#039; means %26#039;way%26#039;, and is stressing more a way of living than a way of killing. In the end, there are teachers that teach juDO in a more fight-applicable way than the other. IT depends more on the teacher and how the artist applies the knowledge than the title.|||phillip c is right word for word what i would say
