Whose the all time best Judo and Jujitsu masters?

Probably their founders, who were they, and what were they all about?





By the way explain the difference of the two arts.|||JUDO KIYUZO MIFUNE not the founder of judo but probably the best who ever lived.Master of the %26quot;empty gi%26quot;as in wrestling with him was like trying to throw or arm lock an empty gi.Used your technique to beat you one mistake and you were done.He weighed on his best day maybe 140 pounds .They said his opponents who often outweighed him by a 100 pounds looked like elephants trying to throw a butterfly.





JIUJUTSU dont know but the GRACIES father%26#039;s teacher who was expert at both methods according to them was pretty formidable.





Classical jiujutsu is more about defending against knives clubs kicking and punching than grappling a battlefield art not sport.


The nastier stuff was taken out and removed by KANO to form JUDO and he even added 2 or 3 european wrestling moves and emphasized equal attention be given to ground work.|||All the people mentioned are indeed great but a few were great in specialazations within the art not the entire art.

|||Judo(Gene lebell) Because of the fight between him and Milo Savage! He was also a champion in the art!Trained Gokor Chivichiean who is a great grappler!


Jujitsu (Helio Gracie) was a tough master at his time! Some judo guy name Kimura bet him though! Even a move is named after Helio Gracie%26#039;s opponent Kimura!


There%26#039;s allot more but these are the ones on the top of my mind! There both almost the same! Only thing is that depending which Jujitsu(Brazilian,Japanese) One will have more ground Grappling! Judo I seen has more better takedowns in my opinion! They could fight in the guard too but they don%26#039;t do leg locks usually! Also They don%26#039;t usually Stress ground fighting much! They stress throwing more than anything usually! It makes sense though! How else are you going to take it to the ground? There versed in submissions too! To see the difference you%26#039;ll have to watch them on the ground fighting!|||I don%26#039;t know about greatest, but here are a few really good ones.





Joe Holck


Wally Jay


Helio Gracie


Frank Ordonez


Gene Lebell





These are some of the greats of Judo and Jujitsu.|||I think the best Judo fighter ever was Anton Geesink from Holland. He was a three time world champ and even won the olympic gold medal in Judo at the Tokoyo games in front of a very hostile Japenese crowd.





Oh and the Judo founder is Jigoro Kano. Here%26#039;s a link http://www.bstkd.com/JudoHistory/History...
