Ah, I used to do Jujutsu myself. It's like judo only with more fatal moves and dangerous techniques. Judo is like a watered down version of jujutsu, which is the martial art chosen in tournaments, as there is less risk of serious injury and makes the fighting safer and more competitive without having to worry as much

@Muckass06

I dont know about 'watered down'.

A judo player would destroy a Jiujitsu player standing. However, Jiujitsu is more dominant on the ground. I hate getting into Judo vs Jujitsu debates... They both have their strengths and weaknesses.

[Muckass06]

@thewerrett I agree. They both focus more on certain aspects of the art, and yes, judo would rape jujutsu standing up.

I'd say jujutsu would probably be the art for self defence against people carrying knifes, people who are wearing armour, or people that sneak up on you, whilst judo is the more "manly" art, and is usually very good in a one on one fight. I think bruce lee once spoke about the differences in the "jutsu" arts and the "do" arts. I'd try wikipedia for a better answer than mine. :)

[thewerrett]

@Muckass06 Yeah, you're right :) I do judo for sport, fitness and fun. Being effective in a 'real' situation doesn't really occur to me... I suppose in a 'real' situation, people will do whatever they need to do to defend themselves rather than relying on a martial art system. Sure, martial art training helps but you gotta mix it up a little :D

wait, judo is like wrestling? u have to pin?

[thewerrett]

@lakersfan132 In judo, there are four main ways to win. Throwing your opponent flat on their back with speed and control, pinning them on their back for 25 seconds, making then tap from an arm lock or strangle/choke.

@leley52 Learn your facts.

[leley52]

@Muckass06 jujutsu started from judo FWI.

[kcopoloman]

ninjutsu i derived from judo men ;)

[Muckass06]

@thewerrett Completely true man :)

In real life you can't stick to one style, which is why I believe it helps to know lots of different styles. If you're being hit by some strong and fast guy, for example, the fast explosive moves of karate won't work, whilst if you're up against someone who is armed with a knife or something, jujutsu or judo help a lot. The situation of the fight changes every second and you have to change with it. You have to do what works best, and not follow a strict style:)

@thewerret or 20 seconds if you already have 1 wazari :pp
