What is the difference between Judo and Jujitsu?

Judo (柔道, jūdō?), meaning %26quot;gentle way%26quot;, is a modern Japanese martial art (gendai budō) and combat sport, that originated in Japan in the late nineteenth century. Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the object is to either throw one%26#039;s opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue one%26#039;s opponent with a grappling maneuver, or force an opponent to submit by joint locking the elbow or applying a choke. Kicks, punches, and thrusts are also practiced, but only in pre-arranged forms. They are not allowed in judo competition or freestyle practice.





Ultimately, the philosophy and subsequent pedagogy developed for judo became the model for almost all modern Japanese martial arts that developed from %26quot;traditional%26quot; schools (koryū). Practitioners of judo are called jūdōka.





Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position and using joint-locks and chokeholds to force an opponent to submit. The system developed from a modified version of pre-World War II Judo including some techniques from Japanese Jujutsu and with a focus on ne-waza (ground technique). It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant. BJJ can be trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition. Sparring (commonly referred to as %26#039;rolling%26#039;) and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition. Its fore father is Aiku Jujitsu which Aikido also has roots from. They are very effective arts used together.|||Alot Judo mean the soften way and in Judo You use your opponent force or momentum agaisnt them.

Do is usually sport.


Itsu is battlefield.|||With regard to the difference between judo and jujitsu, the art of jujitsu is a battlefield tested self-defense system that goes back to the days of the samurai. It encompasses all of the techniques of judo, plus many, many other techniques, combinations and atemi attacks to nerve centers and organs. It has an entire repetoire of responses to different self defense scenarios, up to and including lethal response to a deadly self-defense situation. Some jujitsu systems, like Danzan Ryu jujitsu, do have competitions in kata, freestyle and randori (judo) format for the benefit of their students, and to be used as a training tool.





The sport of judo was created in 1882 by Prof. Jigoro Kano, a jujitsu master, who found that by removing the dangerous self-defense aspect of jujitsu, such as nerve attacks, attacks to energy meridians of the body, etc., he was able to formulate a relatively safe system for those to practice and with which to compete. An educator, Prof. Kano was able to introduce this sport into the Japanese educational system and thereby popularize it in the country in arelatively short time.
