Whats the difference between JuJitsu and Wrestling?

They moves look exactly the same|||jujutsu uses the hands and feet to strike the opponet and also take him down. wrestling is no puches and kicks and just wrestling.|||If they look the same, you aren%26#039;t watching very closely. Most jujitsu moves are illegal in wrestling--no choke holds or joint locks allowed. Plus, in jujitsu you often fight off you back in the guard position. You will never see a wrestler willingly go into the guard in a wrestling match, as they do everything possible to stay off their back and avoid getting pinned. In jujitsu they wear gis and many moves involve grabbing your opponent%26#039;s gi or your own gi to secure a lock or get better leverage. There is nothing like that in wrestling. In the UFC, most fighters use both wrestling and jujitsu moves, which is why they might seem similar to you. They use wrestling for its powerful takedowns and to try to establish dominant top position for ground and pound, and jujitsu for its submissions and chokes.|||Wrestling is a more aggressive form of grappling that concentrates on takedowns and pinfalls(there are many other ways of scoring but for now this is fine)





BJJ is an art that relies more on leverage and technique (not taking away from Wrestlings technique) more than strength and power. BJJ has a position called %26quot;guard%26quot;. IMO to the general viewer who is not familiar with the two arts, this will be where you can tell the difference. BJJ players are taught to work from their back to submit or improve position where in wrestling you will lay on your stomach to avoid a pinfall and being on your back.





So two different arts, to see the biggest difference pay attention to what BJJ guys are doing on their back compared to a wrestler. There are many more differences but this will be where you will see the biggest difference.|||The rules are entirely different.


No submissions are allowed in Wrestling, and Pinfalls don%26#039;t win you a match in JiuJitsu.


That makes training for them entirely different, but they do complement each other and being very good at one will help you to become good at the other.|||Assuming you mean (Brazilian) jujitsu, the difference is:





Wrestling: your main goal is go control and pin your opponent to the ground.





Brazilian jujitsu: your main goal is to control, and submit your opponent via hold or choke.|||you can fight from your back in jiu-jitsu. if you%26#039;re put on your back in wrestling, you%26#039;re pretty much done. in jiu-jitsu, it doesn%26#039;t count as a loss if your shoulderblades are pinned to the ground, and more types of chokes are allowed.|||wrestling can be more of a sport, its more of getting your opponent to the Matt for a pin by using strength, jujitsu is more self defense based because your using pressue points on people and joint locks to force them to submit|||Wrestling is stupid and JuJitsu is better|||the spelling duh!
