Anyone teaching jujitsu in the philippines?
i%26#039;m from the island of cebu in the heart of the philippines. i%26#039;d like to learn jujitsu or bjj if there%26#039;s one. anyone knows how and is willing to share and teach people here?|||MMA has made Jujitsu very popular in the Philippines. There are Jujitsu practitioners around. Most clubs just do not advertise so keep an eye on those who do. I have seen some that advertise the style, but don%26#039;t personally know of any clubs in Cebu.|||Jujitsu schools are rare in other Philippines, i think you have to go to the USA or Japan or Brazil to learn jujitsu.
Which technique would be best to pair with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Japanese Jujitsu?
Like, for BJJ, what would be best to combine it with? Capoeira? I was thinking of doing that. Capoeira looks like fun and a good work out.
But I also hear that Japanese JJ is better than Brazilian JJ for self defense. If I were to do Japanese JJ, which other martial art would be best to combine it with?|||Muay Thai! =]|||I must be honest, I am a bit of a traditionalist, but you need to have a good all round fitness as well as be really supple for Capoeira.
I also really enjoy the Bjj as taught by the Gracies, but as a traditionalist, I would agree that the original is the way to go.
As for the best combination for your other choice, I would go for something that has a lot of real situation training, such as a Mixed Martial Art.
As I said before, I am a traditionalist, but we all have to face facts - we live in a violent society, so we need to adapt our strategy accordingly. Check out this site and see if there is a training center close to you!

By the way, cool answer to the hot sauce kid!!|||You could be highly experimental. I am just throwing out a suggestion here. Have you seen white eyebrow? Or the movements in chen style? I take Brazilian Jujitsu and Muai Thai, but I started learning white eyebrow and chen this morning. I see how the 4 martial arts will overlap and create movement patterns that will literaly cause my enemy to see me as a optical illusion based on how I postition my body, cool huh? Check out this site,
http://kungfu.f-sw.com|||There are no best pairs.
Japanese jujitsu is already a combination of arts. Actually it is the origin of several arts. (judo, aikido , and karate all came from jujitsu)
Later BJJ came from judo which came from jujitsu.|||Capoeira is nice and all to keep you in shape
you learn some great moves for showing off
but thats it
if you went to say kick someone in the face, and you planted your hands on the ground
and they gave a solid low level kick
arm versus leg
leg wins
and you fall on your head
my sensei took some capoeria training for about 3 months he said
he uses one kick outa of the whole 3 months in his MMA dojo and its a spinning back kick where you place your hand on the ground for more balance|||Maybe you should try and combine it with a stand-up style like boxing or Muay Thai. Or you can combine it with another type of grappling style to have wider range of techniques for ground games.|||mauy thai

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. Report Abuse
|||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...

What is the difference between Aikido and Jujitsu?
what is one prominent difference between these styles? meaning that since Aikido was developed from the foundation of Aikijitsu?|||I really like Booyakasha%26#039;s answer.
As a Jiu-jitsuka myself I%26#039;d say evasion and atemi waza combined with various throws and pins.
I%26#039;d love to do Aikido at some point.
Best wishes :)***|||No difference. Aikido is just another form of jiu-jitsu. There are hundreds of styles of jiu-jitsu and several forms.
The term %26#039;jitsu%26#039; designates a %26#039;koryu%26#039; art and %26#039;do%26#039; designates a %26#039;gendai%26#039; art.
In Japan during the Meiji Restoration (1868-1912) everything connected with the Samurai was just about outlawed, including Samurai martial arts. In order to save the martial arts from oblivion, they were toned down making them less deadly, so the koryu arts (jitsu) became the gendai arts (do): examples - Ju-jitsu became Ju-do; Aiki-jitsu became Aiki-do; Ken-jitsu became Ken-do; Kyu-jitsu became Kyu-do, etc. etc.
The difference between Jiu-jitsu and Ju-do is like the difference between bare-knuckle boxing and modern boxing (with gloves); or a gun-fight and paint-ball. The same with the difference between Aikijitsu and Aikido.
In Akijitsu you counter an attack with a punch to the jaw; in Aikido you counter a similar attack with an arm across the neck.|||Jujitsu goes back many hundreds of year, possibly further, depending on the style or school.
Aikido was founded by O-Sensei as a mix of Jujitsu and sword and spear techniques. (Note the subiyashi leg movements, advancing or retreating with the same foot forward all the time. It is quite different from walking.)
The other thing is the philosophy angle. (Anything ending with JUTSU or JITSU is a martial skill, designed to kill the enemy in battle. Pure and simple. Anything ending in DO, such as Ju-do, Aiki-do, Naginata-do, Jo-do is designed as a WAY, or a TAO (the Chinese word).
Morihei Ueshiba was deeply involved in the Omoto religion, and he became a strong pacifist. As he got older, his teachings got softer and more gentle. Thus the Aikido techniques passed on to his eariest students - Kenji Tomiki and Gozo Shioda - were stronger than the ones he taught his students when he was decades older. I%26#039;m not saying O-Sensei was weaker as an old man, though he would have been, but his attitude to the techniques became softer as his skill and outlook became more spiritual.
So let me boil it down. xxx-JITSU (or xxx-JUTSU) techniques were originally designed to cripple or kill. xxx-DO techniques were designed to neutralize an attack with minimum damage possible to the attacker. Of course, this takes great skill... and sometime the minimum force may still end up being deadly force.|||To me it comes down to Control. In Jujitsu the object is to disable an opponent whether it is achieved by breaking his bones or limbs or incapacitating him through strikes, choke holds or throws. In Aikido, the goal is to neutralize your opponent%26#039;s attack and control his movement so he can no longer be a danger to both you and himself without causing unecessary injury or using excessive force.|||There is a story about how OSensei came up with the idea of Aikido. Prior to developing the art, he was well trained in a number of arts including Tenjin Shin%26#039;yo-ryu jujutsu, judo, and later Daito-ryu aiki-jujutsu. All of these arts are descended directly from war arts - where the object is to kill or main your opponent as fast as you can.
Interestingly, this is the reason that jujutsu incorporates throws and arm locks - and uses punches so sparingly. The art was designed against armored opponents, who could care less if you punched them.
Anyhoo, according to the story, OSensei was challenged to a bokken duel by a navel officer in 1925. He was unarmed, and apparently unwilling to duel. The officer lost the duel - supposedly due to OSensei%26#039;s evasiveness that simply wore the officer down. He did not injure the officer, and by all accounts never really even touched him.
This led him to a spiritual awakening, where he decided that budo could be used in a method that honored all living things, including your attacker. Aikido is the systematization of this theory.
Whereas in Aiki jujutsu might use an arm bar to destroy the opponents elbow - in Aikido the objective is to %26quot;light them up%26quot; with the pain, and throw them away prior to causing injury. In practice, this can be difficult to master - and many aikidoka will admit that the theories of aikido wouldn%26#039;t necessarily be followed to the letter in a street fight - but the theory is, if you are good enough, you don%26#039;t have to hurt your opponent to get them to stop. This also extends to non-violent methods of defeating your opponent... you can blend with words as well as you can blend with an attack.|||ju-jitsu was first aikido came from it. the big difference is ju-jitsu covers nearly everything punching,blocking,kicking,grabs,chokes,h... ect. i havnt done aikido but as far as i know its mainly just hand attacks. im sure theirs more than just that but when ive seen ppl do it thats all i see|||At one time, long time ago, they were both one art.

In judo / jujitsu how do you explosively pull someone towards you?
What are the mechanics of grabbing someone%26#039;s gi and pulling him towards you to set them up for a throw. What muscles do you use?
I heard things like use my entire body, but I think it%26#039;s more efficient just to use my arm muscles alone because I want to quickly transition into a throw.|||It%26#039;s got more to do with your hip action and footwork than with your arm muscles. Setting up for a throw is a complicated process that requires constant practice and refinement to master. It%26#039;s not so much about pulling him towards you, as it is about positioning yourself under his center of gravity to be able to get good leverage and using his momentum to throw him off balance. Basically, once you get past a certain point where his balance is broken, gravity takes over, so all you really need to do to throw someone is focus practice on footwork for setting up for throws instead of strengthening your arm muscles. The explosiveness you%26#039;re talking about comes from being able to anticipate where your opponent will be after you set him up and making him resist your attack so you can use the momentum of his resistance against him by reversing the direction of your attack and make him overextend himself and break his balance in one swift motion. Using your arm muscles alone will turn it into a tug of war match which while easy if your opponent is lighter than you, can be difficult when going up against bigger and heavier opponents. Besides, if you%26#039;re gonna rely on arm strength alone, what%26#039;s the point of taking up Judo or Jujitsu? Might as well take up Arm Wrestling.|||Well you use the biceps in the arm and back muscles to pull your opponent into you. but yes, the entire body is used. eg. When pulling you stabilize yourself by using the leg and calve muscles, so as you don%26#039;t pull yourself into your opponent. And your stomach muscles are used to exhale when you pull in.
The key to doing this technique is by doing it when your opponent is momentarily off guard. (the second he has finished a technique, when he is moving backwards etc) it needs practice.

How effective is brazilian jujitsu on the street?
No one would get on the floor and start putting the attacker in holds.At the most wouldn%26#039;t it be more effective to just throw the attacker to the floor and leave.|||ANYTHING is %26quot;effective%26quot; against some douchbag in the street who isn%26#039;t versed in any discipline, which would be 99% of the population.
According to official police stats, 82% of street fights end up on the ground.
Take a guy to the ground and he%26#039;s like a fish out of water against a BJJ practitioner, thats the beauty of BJJ, it doesn%26#039;t matter how big or strong your opponent is he%26#039;s in your territory now....
%26quot;No one would get on the floor and start putting the attacker in holds.%26quot;
I beg to differ, I train at a BJJ gym, the best in the UK granted I%26#039;m only a white belt but I know of several doormen who have used BJJ in a confrontation with huge success, it doesn%26#039;t leave marks and is great for restraining rather than seriously injuring someone.
Infact Id even go as far as saying its more %26quot;effective%26quot; in the street than it is in a cage.
all Cage fighters know atleast some defensive BJJ, basic knowledge coupled with superior strength can be challenging for someone with great skills but with weaker conditioning, the average mugger or drunken lout knows none.
No tap, just snap......|||You%26#039;ve pretty much got it. Or at least, they shouldn%26#039;t.
Yes, it can be effective in those situations where it%26#039;s one-on-one. Tying up on the ground is inherently dangerous, and should not be done unless:
1.) You%26#039;re capable of removing the person from the fight (by breaking bones, knocking them out, etc.)
2.) The situation calls for it (i.e. Such force is warranted).
3.) You can return to your feet quickly, or handle a new threat from a grounded or kneeling position.
In this last case, the majority of the BJJ guys who come to our class lose their cool and resort to using excessive amounts of strength and energy in the case of the second attacker, which indicates a lack of training.
There is always the potential for a second or third or tenth opponent. People who are of the mind that just because it%26#039;s rare that they experience multiple opponents they shouldn%26#039;t train for it miss the point of martial arts. It%26#039;s rare in the scheme of things that you need to fight at all, but, like groundhogs dodging shadows, we train for the one time in a million that it may be necessary.
As to it being more effective to just throw the attacker and leave, yes. However, many people tie up their pride in fighting, and think only about dominating the person who made them feel unsafe. Frankly, to be able to respond to a threat in which adrenaline is flowing, you must train, even if it%26#039;s to run. Many people simply freeze and are hurt. Further, they run straight ahead, not putting any impediment between them and their pursuer, so it becomes a contest of endurance and speed. Remaining safe is not a natural skill.|||BJJ is not really a form of defense, it is more of a sport.
But of course you get on the floor and start putting the guy in holds, hopefully choke to end the fight ASAP.
You have to learn how to strike, because you need to know how to defend yourself when you are trying to position yourself. After all they will be trying to punch you.
Like the posters above said, most street fights are over in a minute or less usually because the fighters are gassed out from thowing haymakers and stuff.|||Sorry tantu pupa I have to bust ur big bubble, Brazilian jiujitsu is very effective in a streetfight. BJJ gives you that fighter type cardio. And in my profession I%26#039;ve seen the benefits BJJ can give you. But fighting on the ground does hurt and it will leave you damaged. And from my experience as working in the prison system most fights do go to the ground, unless someone had a knife then they would just run. I%26#039;m a police officer and I currently take Brazilian jiujitsu. Alot of times when I have people resist or fight I apply bjj all of the time. I dont suggest to go for advance moves if you do get in a street fight. but I could go on and on, if you want more info email me if interested. but over all BJJ is very effective in a street fight, knee on chest, rear naked chokes,sidemount control, kimura to handcuffing, especially if the other person has no experience on what the hell your doing to them.

Street fighting can be for real.
A good, experienced, street fighter will be vicious, determined, real mean and want to HURT you. Against this a sportsman will have little chance.
|||That depends on how good you are at defending yourself. BJJ is good for 1 adversary and not too good at multiple attackers. For multiple attackers you need to look at other style and strategies|||it depends, if its a one on one situation, then its great but if you are in a group, I dont reccommend it!|||Not much. Maybe when your opponent takes you down.
According to official police stats, 82% of street fights end up on the ground.
Take a guy to the ground and he%26#039;s like a fish out of water against a BJJ practitioner, thats the beauty of BJJ, it doesn%26#039;t matter how big or strong your opponent is he%26#039;s in your territory now....
%26quot;No one would get on the floor and start putting the attacker in holds.%26quot;
I beg to differ, I train at a BJJ gym, the best in the UK granted I%26#039;m only a white belt but I know of several doormen who have used BJJ in a confrontation with huge success, it doesn%26#039;t leave marks and is great for restraining rather than seriously injuring someone.
Infact Id even go as far as saying its more %26quot;effective%26quot; in the street than it is in a cage.
all Cage fighters know atleast some defensive BJJ, basic knowledge coupled with superior strength can be challenging for someone with great skills but with weaker conditioning, the average mugger or drunken lout knows none.
No tap, just snap......|||You%26#039;ve pretty much got it. Or at least, they shouldn%26#039;t.
Yes, it can be effective in those situations where it%26#039;s one-on-one. Tying up on the ground is inherently dangerous, and should not be done unless:
1.) You%26#039;re capable of removing the person from the fight (by breaking bones, knocking them out, etc.)
2.) The situation calls for it (i.e. Such force is warranted).
3.) You can return to your feet quickly, or handle a new threat from a grounded or kneeling position.
In this last case, the majority of the BJJ guys who come to our class lose their cool and resort to using excessive amounts of strength and energy in the case of the second attacker, which indicates a lack of training.
There is always the potential for a second or third or tenth opponent. People who are of the mind that just because it%26#039;s rare that they experience multiple opponents they shouldn%26#039;t train for it miss the point of martial arts. It%26#039;s rare in the scheme of things that you need to fight at all, but, like groundhogs dodging shadows, we train for the one time in a million that it may be necessary.
As to it being more effective to just throw the attacker and leave, yes. However, many people tie up their pride in fighting, and think only about dominating the person who made them feel unsafe. Frankly, to be able to respond to a threat in which adrenaline is flowing, you must train, even if it%26#039;s to run. Many people simply freeze and are hurt. Further, they run straight ahead, not putting any impediment between them and their pursuer, so it becomes a contest of endurance and speed. Remaining safe is not a natural skill.|||BJJ is not really a form of defense, it is more of a sport.
But of course you get on the floor and start putting the guy in holds, hopefully choke to end the fight ASAP.
You have to learn how to strike, because you need to know how to defend yourself when you are trying to position yourself. After all they will be trying to punch you.
Like the posters above said, most street fights are over in a minute or less usually because the fighters are gassed out from thowing haymakers and stuff.|||Sorry tantu pupa I have to bust ur big bubble, Brazilian jiujitsu is very effective in a streetfight. BJJ gives you that fighter type cardio. And in my profession I%26#039;ve seen the benefits BJJ can give you. But fighting on the ground does hurt and it will leave you damaged. And from my experience as working in the prison system most fights do go to the ground, unless someone had a knife then they would just run. I%26#039;m a police officer and I currently take Brazilian jiujitsu. Alot of times when I have people resist or fight I apply bjj all of the time. I dont suggest to go for advance moves if you do get in a street fight. but I could go on and on, if you want more info email me if interested. but over all BJJ is very effective in a street fight, knee on chest, rear naked chokes,sidemount control, kimura to handcuffing, especially if the other person has no experience on what the hell your doing to them.

What are the benefits of being flexible in Brazilian Jujitsu?
It will be easier to move around, and scramble to different positions. And for some positions (some consider important) like the Rubber guard it is necessary . ||| Benefits of being FlEXIBLE in Brazilian Jiu jitsu are -
1. Escaping Submissions and Control Positions
2. Manuevering around an opponent
3. Changing Control positions faster
4. Able to execute more complex submissions
5. It makes it harder for your opponet to submit you (sometimes)
6. Able to Reverse a submission on your opponent
7. Able to execute submissions more smoothly
8. Able to cut a better angle when doing a submission
|||It will be easier to move around and slide into certain spots, and also withstand and get out of locks and holds.

What are the main differences between Japanese Jujitsu and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
Jujitsu uses pins, joint locks, and throws to defeat an opponent. Like using their energy against them. There is striking in it, sometimes weapons, and just locks and stuff.
BJJ is mainly just grappling, hardly any striking, although there are a few strikes. Mainly its used for grappling, a lot of chokes and joint locks.
Mainly one is just grappling, the other one consists of a number of things, but their main purpose is grappling.|||They are very different one is stand up the other is ground game.|||What is your purpose in asking?Sport and dojo sparring or self defense.If sport then the differences stand out judo/jujutsu primarily standing because that is what the judges and referees want to see nice throws.In TKD tournaments judges and refs want to see kicks.
In BJJ it%26#039;s ground work. that is valued in sport contest as it is easier to take a trained opponent to the ground by leg tackling when the opponent is hindered by rules of sportmanship.
Self defense is a whole different animal.The GRACIES advise against going to the ground as your 1st and only priority in a self defense situation and teach many stand up technique.
It is not that hard to throw or lock up an untrained attacker while standing and I know TKD people who will kick the knees and punch to the head in a self defense attack and even use arm locks and chokes.
To say any art only does one thing or fights only one way is wrong and if you are being taught that way ask for your money back.|||BJJ comes from japanese JJ, as you may or may not know grapling and join locks on the ground are part of traditional JJ. When Gracie was taught JJ he couldnt throw anyone, he wasnt strong to apply any of the standing holds, he was very skinny and very unfit so he focused his attention on what he would do on the ground and polished his ground game to the point where it could beat people from many other styles regardles of the weight or strength advantage
Similar to how Judo focused on throws which is one aspect of JJ, BJJ focused on the ground simply because its HARD to throw someone alot bigger than you or apply standup holds, even if your technique is very good, but on the ground weight plays a much smaller part so this is BJJ
JJ however is a more complete system as i covers everything, from standup locks to ground game to striking to throws, but if you want to focus on something you would do BJJ or Judo|||The answer is basically philosophy.|||My Jujitsu style is Japanese Danzan ryu.

Old (martial) Japanese Ju-jitsu
-%26gt; JUDO
-%26gt; New (sport) Briazilian Ju-jitsu
Japanese %26quot;martial%26quot; Ju-jitsu has many varied styles. Some of them resemble Aikido (also comes from Ju-jitsu), which employs no groundfighting techniques. Many others incorporated standing and ground techniques similar to Judo and BJJ. Many were (are) practiced ritualistically, and never attempt techniques on a resistive opponent, while others employ an amount of freestyle %26quot;sparring%26quot; like Judo and BJJ.
Many of the techniques are the same in both ju-jitsus, BJJ schools put a much greater emphasis on freestyle practice than most Japanese schools, but some schools are changing as a result of pressure put on other styles by the competiveness of BJJ.
Wikipedia: Jujutsu ...evolved among the samurai of feudal Japan as a method for dispatching an armed and armored opponent in situations where the use of weapons was impractical or forbidden. Due to the difficulty of dispatching an armored opponent with striking techniques, the most efficient methods for neutralizing an enemy took the form of pins, joint locks, and throws.
Judo was developed from Japanese Ju-jitsu by Kano Jigoro (1860-1938) when he was in his 20%26#039;s (1880-something).
Mitsuyo Maedaone, one of Kano Jigoro%26#039;s students, was sent to Brazil as a diplomat in 1914 (Judo had only been around for 30+years at the time). Maeda met an influential businessman named Gast茫o Gracie who helped him get established. In 1917, his son Carlos Gracie, still a 14 year-old boy, watched a demonstration by Maeda ... Maeda accepted Carlos as a student, and Carlos, with his younger brother H茅lio Gracie became the founder of ... modern Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
The Gracie family continued to develop the system throughout the 20th century, often fighting vale tudo matches (precursors to modern MMA), during which it increased its focus on ground fighting and refined its techniques.
What%26#039;s the difference between Judo and BJJ?
Primarily the rules for scoring points:
In Judo, two standing opponents get a full point for one, good clean throw or sweep, and maybe a half-point for one not-so clean technique that got the job done. If both fall to the ground, but not as the result of an effective throw or sweep the fight continues on the ground (with a time limit). A match may be one by holding an opponent immobile with a headlock or other technique for 25 seconds. This would score a few points in BJJ, but would not end the match. Naturally, the standing throws and sweeps are slightly more important in Judo, though groundwork is still necessary (some would argue they are equal in Judo).
Judo matches are won by the first full point (or two half-points)
BJJ matches are won by total points accumulated during the time period of the match (4 minutes or 5 minutes). A successfully executed throw, take down or sweep could score a point, but the fight would continue, with points continuously awarded for achieving a superior positions. BJJ matches could end 5-points to 6 points or 11 points to 8, unlike Judo which ends with the first full point.
BJJ matches may also be won by a decisive submission technique such as arm bar, choke, etc., that causes the opponent to submit by %26quot;tapping%26quot; the ground with one hand, but would not be ended by holding an opponent immobile for 25 seconds, like in Judo.
Because of the rules of BJJ competition, extensive groundfighting expertise is more advantageous than standing techniques, and are thus emphasized in training.
The rules of Judo competition require excellent skill at throws and sweeps from a standing position, which are thsu emphasized in Judo training.
The rules of BJJ may more closely resemble the %26quot;no-rules%26quot; scenario of a street fight: just because he%26#039;s on the ground doesn%26#039;t mean he%26#039;s going to stop fighting.
It does make sense, however, that in a street fight there may be multiple attackers, or knives or guns, and it could be very advantageous to dispatch an attacker with a single, quick and poweful Judo technique that does not require you yourself to be on the ground , fully commited to the first attacker and unable to deal with a second (BJJ).
The mantra of many BJJ schools is that %26quot;99% of all fights go to the ground%26quot;. That may be true for highly trained fighters in a controlled sports competition with no concealed knives or guns.
But I have a good friend who lived in foster homes and government institutions from the age of 8 to 18, was in about a hundred or so street fights during that part of his life, once even breaking an opponents arm.
How many of those fights went to the ground? Not a single one.
I still think I would choose BJJ. I%26#039;ve done a little of both - BJJ is easier if your not so young any more. But it%26#039;s a difficult choice; Judo is very enjoyable and effective. Japanese ju-jitsu? Ritual-based,AIkido like non-competitive styles: been, there, did that, didn%26#039;t get much out of it. Competitive styles that train groundfighting; only if they train like a BJJ school.
The main difference is not in the techniques. They mostly use the same techniques. The difference is in the way the train - BJJ trains realistically, Japanese Ju-jitsu often, but not always, trains more ritualistically than realistically.

I still think I would choose BJJ. I%26#039;ve done a little of both - BJJ is easier if your not so young any more. But it%26#039;s a difficult choice; Judo is very enjoyable and effective. Japanese ju-jitsu? Ritual-based,AIkido like non-competitive styles: been, there, did that, didn%26#039;t get much out of it. Competitive styles that train groundfighting; only if they train like a BJJ school.
The main difference is not in the techniques. They mostly use the same techniques. The difference is in the way the train - BJJ trains realistically, Japanese Ju-jitsu often, but not always, trains more ritualistically than realistically.
If i do jujitsu can i still have a navel piercing?
well ok so jujitsu is a self defence sport and i have wanted my navel pierced for about a year, if i wear a plaster over my piercing will it be ok to still do my hobby? What do you think? please someone help me out!|||yea its fine, my friend is a gymnast and ballerina and has a navel piercing, just protect it after youve just had it done, like you said plaster is good =D x|||If you want to wear it, the best thing to do would be to wrap some gauze around your stomach where the naval piercing is. This way there are no chances of it getting ripped out. Now think about getting kicked in the stomach. You think it will hurt more with the piercing or without? I don%26#039;t think that plaster would help. I suggest that you wear your piercing untill you can easily take it off. This way you can just take if off before sparring.|||it will be perfectly fine just make sure you clean it right after
For those that think Brazilian JuJitsu is the best Martial Art--It is best for what specifically?
You are alone in a %26quot;street defense%26quot; situation.
Your attacker points a gun at you.
He most likely has buddies hiding somewhere (this is not your neighborhood)...
Why would BJJ be superior?|||If that is the situation you are in and the person holding the gun is more then 5 feet away then you are f**ked, even if you knew every MA in the world you are not going to be able to move faster then a bullet fired out of a gun that is fact, and if you knew that the person had mates hiding around the corner, the BJJ would not serve you all that well in that situation because if you disarmed your attacker and got him to the ground then his mates would just run over and pound you until you let go.
I think that BJJ is a situated one on one MA and in that capability it is one of the best but with the situation that you pointed out then I would like to know Karv Maga or Karate, TKD or anyother martial art just not BJJ.|||It%26#039;s good in the ring, in the real world Krav Maga is better.|||No matter how you are trained, the best way to go in that situation is to give the guy your wallet and get the hell out of dodge. To be proficient at any self-defense technique, you must repeat it over and over again, and there are not many classes in any style that train the %26quot;disarm idiot with gun who was foolish enough to stand close enough for you to reach him while his backup thugs wait invisible in the shadows%26quot; technique. Bottom line is that the guy with the gun is ahead and your best %26quot;move%26quot; is to live to fight another day.
Now as to the value of BJJ, it is a great martial art for ground fighting (very useful in most legit 1 on 1 fights). Most BJJ schools also teach basic situational self-defense for protection against punches, kicks, and grabs that integrate BJJ techniques. Will they work against a trained Muay Thai fighter? Probably not very well. Will they work in most street fight situations? No doubt. Will any martial art help you in the situation described in the question? Only if it teaches the speedy %26quot;hand over the money%26quot; strike.|||I am a practitioner of the art, and I do not believe it is the best martial art. There%26#039;s no such thing. They all have their benefits. BJJ is just one of the many sports to master in competition fighting.
Now if someone pointed a gun at you, I believe some of the military martial arts would be more effective right there. they don%26#039;t exactly teach you how to deal with guns at BJJ lessons.
But if there is the possibility of others hiding in the area, why would you want to fight back? Believe me, no matter what martial arts I know, I would simply give in to their demands. It%26#039;s alot easier to heal an ego than it is to heal a gunshot wound.
There is no best martial art. You have to incorporate them all into your training. Anybody who claims BJJ is the best is a misguided, badly trained fool, but it is a very effective art and all martial artists should experience it.|||There isn%26#039;t alot you can do to prepare yourself for such a situation, too many variables but I%26#039;d rather be well versed in BJJ than nothing, if your attacker were to get distracted for just 1 second, you would have enough time to turn the tables, ofcourse if he was just trying to mug you it would probably be a better idea to just hand over your wallet than try to pull off such a risky stunt|||First of all if someone is pointing a gun at you there are a million different situation, to act in a million different ways.
BJJ is not the only best martial art for self defense in a real street fight, only know BJJ will not help you win the fight, if you are looking for a martial art for the street fights then you need to know a couple, for example:
Judo, Karate, Jiu Jitsu
Will give you all you need to win a street fight.
- Judo gives you advantages in a close fight (You can through him against the ground)
- Karate gives you advantages in far distance (Kicks punches and blocks)
- Jiu Jitsu allows you to stop an opponent%26#039;s knife and counter attack choke (break any bone in his body)

Working on your abs and back muscles are also imoprtant to keep your upper body from getting pushed off balance.|||1...train like a fighter.....NOT a bodybuilder...fighters train more like olympic weight lifters than anything....body builders do it to look good naked
2....you dont have to put weight on to get stronger if you want to stay in your weight class....its all about
3....Make sure you get plenty of rest...or you%26#039;re going to end up overtrained and hurt
4..Follow a nutritional plan..this is far more important that alot of people will have you believe....making sure to eat something (HEALTHY) every 3 hours to keep your metabolism up as its going to be taking a beating...no gimick diets work....If I were to recomend something to invest in....it would be Precision Nutrition which is a website by Dr John Berardi....he makes designing a nutrition plan simple and easy to follow depending on your goals.....and you dont have to have a PHd in Human Nutrition to follow it....you can also find articles by him on the web if you%26#039;re looking for free info
5 Key nutrition points I%26#039;d like to make are
(A)NEVER miss breakfast....as its just that...breaking from a fast, which is why its called the most important meal....and NO coffee and a muffin DO NOT COUNT.
(B) Make sure you have something in your stomach going to bed....people will tell you otherwise but by chosing a food thats digested slowly, you%26#039;ll actually be doing your body good....a great food that fits this bill is Cottage Cheese as its Full of Casein and takes time for your body to break it down.
6....
Cardio....and NO the mat time is not enough, regardless of what the internet experts here say
the training
As far as cardio goes?
A good goal?
You should be able to run a 12 minute 2 mile, if you want to last a round in the ring.
The actual Training
When doing Cardio High Intensity Interval Training(Or HIIT, as you might have seen before) is far more effective for both burning fat and building your stamina than steady State Cardio. This involves as someone pointed out jogging with sprint breaks in between....so, it would look something like this
WARNING though...you CANNOT do something like this every day or you WILL burn out
Week 1
Jog 5 minutes...sprint 1....repeat 4 times
Week 2
Jog 4 minutes...sprint 1....repeat 4 times
Week 3
Jog 3 minutes...sprint 1....repeat 5 times
Week 4
Jog 2 minutes...sprint 1....repeat 5 times
Week 5
Jog 1 Minute....Sprint 1....repeat 9 times....this is Hard...I do NOT suggest doing it unless you%26#039;ve actuall worked up to it
As for how a week of cardio might look?
we%26#039;ll go with a Monday to Friday Split just cause its a typical week
Monday 鈥?Interval Training
Wednesday 鈥?Fast Paced 鈥?perform 20 minutes of continuous activity at 75-80% of your heart rate max.
Friday 鈥?Continuous Low Intensity 鈥?perform 50 minutes of continuous cardio at 60-70% of your heart rate max.
Forget the Jogging except on that last day of the week as it can be actually very counterproductive in the long run.
I hope that helps some
Martial arts specific
Stamina
http://www.t-nation.com/readArticle.do?i...
I DO NOT suggest hitting the weights until you can at least do the following
50 uninterupted pushups
25-50 Pull ups
10, 1 legged squats.....dont worry if you cant though....I%26#039;ve trained some guys that can do the 2 leg version with 300 pounds and cant get a single one legged one.....just try
As for actual Weights?
I personally Like the Motto Keep It Simple Stupid (or KISS)
I%26#039;m not telling you to do weight/not to do weights but they can be very beneficial to your training.....the only thing being, you want someone that knows what their doing when it comes to lifting to show you how to do the lifts properly, as you can get seriously hurt performing cleans/squats/deadlifts....hell even the bench press as alot of the time ego beats out a persons wanting to do it correctly and they flare their elbows and hurt their shoulder.
Some things to keep in mind being....think about your goals....do you want to cut weight?Gain Weight? Maintain Weight but go up in strenght? because all are possible depending on how you organize your schedule
Another thing to think about is you want to be working out like a fighter....using sport specific workouts (generally full body workouts) is going to be far more beneficial to you than following a bodybuilder%26#039;s program....no matter what your friend or the local personal trainer(whose getting paid to keep you as a customer....NOT to make you see results...making you think your work is done and wanting to leave) may say to you
If you want a good goal.....look at it this way, you should be able to
Squat 4 times your bodyweight
Deadlift 3.5 times your bodyweight
Benchpress 2.5 times your bodyweight
Do chin ups with the same weight attached to you as you can bench
And no these ARE NOT unrealistic numbers....Do a search on Olympic lifting/chad waterbury(hes a highly regarded expert at training Martial artists) and follow them....always remembering
YOUR NOT A BODYBUILDER so there is no need to train like one....no matter what your friend says
its quality over quantity
www.crossfit.com also offers amazing workouts for martial artists...or anyone wanting to test themselves|||Through proper conditioning training, designed to build explosive power.
First you want to do primarily circuit routines (routines in which you got from one exercise to the next with little to no rest period between).
I suggest a plyometric circuit for 2 weeks, then a weight routine circuit for 2 weeks, alternating between the two.
Plyometrics are all designed to be explosive with fast twitch muscle building.
They included things like squat jumps, jumping lunges, etc.
http://www.myfit.ca/exercisedatabase/ply...
Look through the many things online, and have your coach help you develop a plyometric circuit he thinks will benefit you.
Then on your weight weeks, work on Olympic style lifts. They are meant to build explosive power. Pay attention to speed and lifting explosively, as opposed to slow control type of lifting.
I wrote up a short one for a user not too long ago, here is one that I like to do.
Sorry to make this long, but here is a quick %26quot;butt kicker%26quot; circuit that I love. All you need is a good step, (at least 24 inches high) and a bar.
The goal is to do these in 1 cycle of this in 10 minutes or less, and to eventually be able to do this twice in 20 minutes. As you start to get below the 10 minute mark, then increase the weight.
This is all done with one bar (I prefer a curl bar) and one set of weight. Let%26#039;s say for you 65lbs (A 25lbs on each end, with a 15lbs bar). You quickly go from exercise to exercise, with no resting.
30 Jumping Jacks
30-50 situps (depending on your fitness level)
20 Upright Rows http://www.exrx.net/weightexercises/delt...
20 Overhead Push Press
http://www.exrx.net/weightexercises/olym...
21%26#039;s Curls (7 from bottom to half way, 7 from half way to top, 7 whole curls.)
Hop back down to 50 situps.
Remaining on the ground, bridge your back (Arch)
20 Pullovers http://www.exrx.net/weightexercises/lati...
50 Bench Press
25 Body weight dips (off the step)
http://www.myfit.ca/exercisedatabase/vie...
Now the fun stuff...
Grab the bar, place it on your shoulders.
30 Lunges (15 per leg)
http://www.exrx.net/weightexercises/quad...
20 Half Squats (just go half way)
30 Step ups (15 each leg) http://www.exrx.net/weightexercises/quad...
20 Clean and Press
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercise...
Voila!
Getting to under 10 minutes is tough, most of these exercises have to be done quickly and explosively to make it to this time. Your cardio will increase and you will build lean, fast twitch muslce. I usually do one of these at the beginning of practice and one at the end.
If you can work up to 2 rotations of that in under 20 minutes with Cadillacs on each end. (105lbs on the bar or so) and you will be an unstoppable beast.
Good luck!|||i am also. depends on what aspect you want to explode through. if it is take downs then you would want to do speed drills, like sprints and calf and quad workouts. if you want to explode to submissions, get more comfortable with the movements and positioning. core strength is key for explosiveness into submissions|||If you want to become more powerful in Jujitsu start with the abdominal , back and leg muscles.
Your abdomin, your back and your legs comes into play when you find yourself on your back. A lot of people are usually gassed by then and struggle to shrimp away or struggle to bridge. Its really hard to shrimp or bridge when someone is really heavy and sittion on you, you will need good abs, a strong lower back and your quadraceps and hamstrings have to be condition. My suggestion is that you do about 300 crunches a day. each time you do them it has to be 100 straight three. Lets say you do a hundred when you wake up, 100 during mid day and 100 the night before you go to bed. The first 50 of any of these 3 sets have to be blasted through as fast as humanly possible. Your goal is to be able to blas through 100 straight through without stopping or breaking rhythm, thats called muscular endurace.....When you do cruches you will be also strenthening your back, your quads and hamstrings; all the muscles you need when on your back under a mounted position.
Next you need squats and lunges.You need to do at least 100 a day, at the very least! You can break them up into sets of 25. The first 50 done regularly but the last 50 you%26#039;re gonna really focus your engergy on. You%26#039;re gonna squat down and come up really slow, focusing on form. This is gonna creat a massive burn in your leg, the same burn you get when your dead tired and trying to lift a guy. Next lunges. lunges are your key to life. the key to being a good grappler is getting the guy on the ground before he gets u on the ground. If he beats you to it he%26#039;ll most likely end up on top of you unless you%26#039;re really good at reversing a takedown which rarely happens. In the grappling game you want to shoot like a mad man. There are only so many shots a person can sprawl from or avoid so if you continuously do them they%26#039;ll gas out and give up the legs. Lunge, lunge lunge!!! Theres really no set number on lunges, just make sure your legs are burning before you go to bed. Also don go straight to lunges right after you just did squats, u might hurt yourself. Try to mix your excercises up so that you are on any particular muscle group too consecutively. Just before you do your lunges stretch your quads and hamstrings, do some splits or something to loosen your leg up.
You also need ot excercise your neck. Your neck should be able to sustain a hudge amount of pressure BUT BE CAUTIOUS! As strong as we want our neck to be we dont want to snap it in conditioning, once your neck is gone you are gone! YOu can strenthin your neck a number of ways. lay on your back with everything flat on the ground. pretend like you%26#039;re gonna sit up but only move your neck up, kinda like you%26#039;re doing situps but only with your neck. do that a couple times then flip over and do the reverse on your belly, do it for time or do it for max sets.. Make sure to stretch your neck when don.
Next do arm curls. Arm curls will help you fight off arm bars. ONce your caught in a bad position and you know the arm bar is coming its a test of strength to see if you can keep your arm curled. Finally pushups, well I dont have to tell you what they are good for. Do them often and regurly!|||Your core, Legs, and Back are your main muscles to train!!
Integrate with circuit training for high yields!!|||You can add more muscle mass which will allow you more weight. More weight means you are harder to move, but if an opponent moves you it means that your momentum will be harder for you to stop. In truth all your power comes from momentum and torque. Working on techniques until they can be done instinctively will provided you with speed. For more explosive power during throws etc... then use your mind. Out think your opponent. You have to find ways of getting his weight and momentum shifting. While he is off balanced by the transition of moving into his technique or responding to your technique he is most vulnerable. Use this to your advantage.
It is a lot like playing chess.
Good luck.|||Plyometrics. It is designed for explosive power. And it works.|||I would like to answer this by giving an analogy.
When you fold a blanket, you have to snap it a few times to get it smooth and even.
I am sure you have taken a wet towel or rag and whipped it at your little brother...
This can be applied to the body. As you snap a blanket you have to do so loosely and as the blanket is floating upwards you quickly yank downwards and the blanket snaps. With knees bent, rise and sink with the movement
It%26#039;s not as easy to explain as it is to demonstrate. I hope you got the jist.
You can practice this as if you were holding a blanket in your hands and get great results. You must use your breath inhaling and exhaling with the complete movement.

Then on your weight weeks, work on Olympic style lifts. They are meant to build explosive power. Pay attention to speed and lifting explosively, as opposed to slow control type of lifting.
I wrote up a short one for a user not too long ago, here is one that I like to do.
Sorry to make this long, but here is a quick %26quot;butt kicker%26quot; circuit that I love. All you need is a good step, (at least 24 inches high) and a bar.
The goal is to do these in 1 cycle of this in 10 minutes or less, and to eventually be able to do this twice in 20 minutes. As you start to get below the 10 minute mark, then increase the weight.
This is all done with one bar (I prefer a curl bar) and one set of weight. Let%26#039;s say for you 65lbs (A 25lbs on each end, with a 15lbs bar). You quickly go from exercise to exercise, with no resting.
30 Jumping Jacks
30-50 situps (depending on your fitness level)
20 Upright Rows http://www.exrx.net/weightexercises/delt...
20 Overhead Push Press
http://www.exrx.net/weightexercises/olym...
21%26#039;s Curls (7 from bottom to half way, 7 from half way to top, 7 whole curls.)
Hop back down to 50 situps.
Remaining on the ground, bridge your back (Arch)
20 Pullovers http://www.exrx.net/weightexercises/lati...
50 Bench Press
25 Body weight dips (off the step)
http://www.myfit.ca/exercisedatabase/vie...
Now the fun stuff...
Grab the bar, place it on your shoulders.
30 Lunges (15 per leg)
http://www.exrx.net/weightexercises/quad...
20 Half Squats (just go half way)
30 Step ups (15 each leg) http://www.exrx.net/weightexercises/quad...
20 Clean and Press
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercise...
Voila!
Getting to under 10 minutes is tough, most of these exercises have to be done quickly and explosively to make it to this time. Your cardio will increase and you will build lean, fast twitch muslce. I usually do one of these at the beginning of practice and one at the end.
If you can work up to 2 rotations of that in under 20 minutes with Cadillacs on each end. (105lbs on the bar or so) and you will be an unstoppable beast.
Good luck!|||i am also. depends on what aspect you want to explode through. if it is take downs then you would want to do speed drills, like sprints and calf and quad workouts. if you want to explode to submissions, get more comfortable with the movements and positioning. core strength is key for explosiveness into submissions|||If you want to become more powerful in Jujitsu start with the abdominal , back and leg muscles.
Your abdomin, your back and your legs comes into play when you find yourself on your back. A lot of people are usually gassed by then and struggle to shrimp away or struggle to bridge. Its really hard to shrimp or bridge when someone is really heavy and sittion on you, you will need good abs, a strong lower back and your quadraceps and hamstrings have to be condition. My suggestion is that you do about 300 crunches a day. each time you do them it has to be 100 straight three. Lets say you do a hundred when you wake up, 100 during mid day and 100 the night before you go to bed. The first 50 of any of these 3 sets have to be blasted through as fast as humanly possible. Your goal is to be able to blas through 100 straight through without stopping or breaking rhythm, thats called muscular endurace.....When you do cruches you will be also strenthening your back, your quads and hamstrings; all the muscles you need when on your back under a mounted position.
Next you need squats and lunges.You need to do at least 100 a day, at the very least! You can break them up into sets of 25. The first 50 done regularly but the last 50 you%26#039;re gonna really focus your engergy on. You%26#039;re gonna squat down and come up really slow, focusing on form. This is gonna creat a massive burn in your leg, the same burn you get when your dead tired and trying to lift a guy. Next lunges. lunges are your key to life. the key to being a good grappler is getting the guy on the ground before he gets u on the ground. If he beats you to it he%26#039;ll most likely end up on top of you unless you%26#039;re really good at reversing a takedown which rarely happens. In the grappling game you want to shoot like a mad man. There are only so many shots a person can sprawl from or avoid so if you continuously do them they%26#039;ll gas out and give up the legs. Lunge, lunge lunge!!! Theres really no set number on lunges, just make sure your legs are burning before you go to bed. Also don go straight to lunges right after you just did squats, u might hurt yourself. Try to mix your excercises up so that you are on any particular muscle group too consecutively. Just before you do your lunges stretch your quads and hamstrings, do some splits or something to loosen your leg up.
You also need ot excercise your neck. Your neck should be able to sustain a hudge amount of pressure BUT BE CAUTIOUS! As strong as we want our neck to be we dont want to snap it in conditioning, once your neck is gone you are gone! YOu can strenthin your neck a number of ways. lay on your back with everything flat on the ground. pretend like you%26#039;re gonna sit up but only move your neck up, kinda like you%26#039;re doing situps but only with your neck. do that a couple times then flip over and do the reverse on your belly, do it for time or do it for max sets.. Make sure to stretch your neck when don.
Next do arm curls. Arm curls will help you fight off arm bars. ONce your caught in a bad position and you know the arm bar is coming its a test of strength to see if you can keep your arm curled. Finally pushups, well I dont have to tell you what they are good for. Do them often and regurly!|||Your core, Legs, and Back are your main muscles to train!!
Integrate with circuit training for high yields!!|||You can add more muscle mass which will allow you more weight. More weight means you are harder to move, but if an opponent moves you it means that your momentum will be harder for you to stop. In truth all your power comes from momentum and torque. Working on techniques until they can be done instinctively will provided you with speed. For more explosive power during throws etc... then use your mind. Out think your opponent. You have to find ways of getting his weight and momentum shifting. While he is off balanced by the transition of moving into his technique or responding to your technique he is most vulnerable. Use this to your advantage.
It is a lot like playing chess.
Good luck.|||Plyometrics. It is designed for explosive power. And it works.|||I would like to answer this by giving an analogy.
When you fold a blanket, you have to snap it a few times to get it smooth and even.
I am sure you have taken a wet towel or rag and whipped it at your little brother...
This can be applied to the body. As you snap a blanket you have to do so loosely and as the blanket is floating upwards you quickly yank downwards and the blanket snaps. With knees bent, rise and sink with the movement
It%26#039;s not as easy to explain as it is to demonstrate. I hope you got the jist.
You can practice this as if you were holding a blanket in your hands and get great results. You must use your breath inhaling and exhaling with the complete movement.
This is a Chinese exercise. Part of the internal arts.|||download shawn sherks UFC all access, its a tv show by the ufc showing fighters training......... mininova.org he does some crazy stuff on there that you could probably do right at home....
I am from the Philadelphia area and am interested in learning Jujitsu. Is there a non intense school around?
I am in full time grad school so I don%26#039;t have a great deal of free time. Also, I am not interested in competing. I just find it interesting and would like to try it. Jujitsu schools have a reputation of being intense. I am not soft and I stay in pretty good shape, however I would prefer a more relaxed program without needless injuries to %26quot;break me in%26quot;.|||Well then I suggest you try to learn it over the internet or perhaps a book. A good school is pretty intense and time consuming trying to make sure you actually learn something. If you try to learn it via book or internet you will have it on your own pace. Martial arts aren%26#039;t for the busy. If you want to get good at it or just want the full experience you need a lot of spare time.|||I can%26#039;t suggest a school, because the only style I%26#039;ve ever trained is shotokan, but I can say that the fact that it%26#039;s called %26quot;Jujitsu%26quot; is a common mistake. There is no Japanese word %26quot;Jitsu%26quot; The word is %26quot;Jutsu%26quot;, so you maybe want to look for a school that advertises that.
The word %26quot;Jutsu%26quot; means %26quot;Style%26quot;, so %26quot;Ju Jutsu%26quot; would be a specific fighting style. For the most part, if the dojo doesn%26#039;t know that, they%26#039;re probably not the best place for you to go.
Ninjutsu is the fighting style of ninjas.

Any books or other sources that can teach me (a beginner)about jujitsu and Brazilian Jujitsu and other jitsus.
I have always been interested in martial arts and everything that goes along with it. I would like to learn about it, the moves, the history... everything. Know any books or other sources that can quench my thirst for this type of knowledge?|||It%26#039;s spelled %26quot;jutsu%26quot;, Japanese for %26quot;the art of%26quot;. You should probably check out some masters of the art and see if they%26#039;ve written any books about it. Sorry, but I really don%26#039;t know much about Jiu-Jutsu. I%26#039;ve included a pair of informative links in my sources, though. Anyways, if you%26#039;re content on learning a martial art, your best bet is to join a dojo and start training; you can%26#039;t really learn it from a book. Even if your interest is purely academic, I%26#039;d still suggest you do the same.
Do you know of any Jujitsu club in Bellevue, Kirkland or Bothell in Washington State who teaches Jujitsu?

Why pork is prohibited gracie jujitsu diet?
i went to website they say if you do gracie jujutsu diet,you can%26#039;t eat pork whatsoever. why is that?|||High levels of saturated fat, low levels of protein.
It%26#039;s high caloric intake, and low protein for a meat make it not worth it nutritionally. Most diets would have a lack of pork, it is just a fatty meat without a lot of nutritional value.
Has nothing to do with religion, or culture, or anything it is just good nutrition, you want to eat things that give you the most bang for your buck, offer the least amount of fat with the highest amount of protein.
Pork is on the opposite end of the spectrum meat wise, it has the highest amount of fat, with the lowest amount of protein.
Pretty simple really.|||Christians (yes) Jews, and Muslims diet too?|||google jujutsu diet|||another way to control the followers.
its a power trip. do as we do, or you are not one of us...|||pork is fattening duh!

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!

Looking for opinions on Japanese Jujitsu compared to BJJ?
I study Japanese Jujitsu along with other arts. One of my instructors won Jujitsu Nationals 2 years in a row. Do most BJJ practitioners go for MMA competition or straight grappeling contests?|||JJJ was watered down by the Gracie family, and made into a %26quot;ground only%26quot; fighting style.
If you train in any JJJ style worth a darn, you will learn all that BJJ stuff IN ADDITION to the standing techniques.
If I had my choice, I%26#039;d want the one that teaches me both - how to fight standing AND on the ground.
Remember, JJJ is the parent art of Judo, Aikido and BJJ.|||I train in BJJ (mostly gi but some no gi). When I think of traditional BJJ competition I think of Gi competition. Just as Japanese Jiu Jitsu works/trains with a Gi (uniform) so does it sister BJJ. As they stem from the same root they should look and compete similarly. Although I feel Japanese practitioners seem to have a stronger grasp of Judo (read the history of Jiu Jitsu on Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gracie_Jiu_... or throwing concepts. BJJ too has many throws and takedowns within it. After all Japanese practitioners shared this wonderful art with Carlos Gracie so many years ago that we may all enjoy what we know as BJJ today.
BJJ has had a long history within the Gracie family of taking on all arts, thus the rise of UFC as a platform for the Gracie system to showcase it%26#039;s dominance within an open fighting forum.
Today I see BJJ as one tenent of a larger structure that builds a well rounded fighter. Other areas of practice are Freestyle grappling for conditioning and take downs, Muy Thai, Judo for throws, Boxing for striking and kicks.
Overall I do not think the majority of BJJ competitors train in BJJ for No Gi competition. I have always been trained to understand your Gi practice will make your No Gi stronger and vice versa. So I enjoy both.
I think both styles of competition as exciting in their own way.
I train to compete in Gi tournaments and have also competed in No Gi but I do not feel my involvement in BJJ means I am focused on MMA training. I am training for sport and physical benefit. BJJ gives me a great base and focus for ground attacks and cardio conditioning.|||helio gracie selectively chose certain techniques of japanese jiu jitsu that involved ground fighting so he could use them for the popular sport in the 1930s in brasil called catch wrestling. many of the more brutal techniques used by the samurai were tossed away and grappling moves were modified to suit helio%26#039;s weak body. As far as the second question, at least at my academy, most fighters stick to grappling only. very few have the time or physical stamina to compete in mma.|||JJJ is weaker than BJJ I came from a string JJJ background and I was okay at BJJ but I have to say I learned more in 4 months there than I did 3 years at JJJ

I train to compete in Gi tournaments and have also competed in No Gi but I do not feel my involvement in BJJ means I am focused on MMA training. I am training for sport and physical benefit. BJJ gives me a great base and focus for ground attacks and cardio conditioning.|||helio gracie selectively chose certain techniques of japanese jiu jitsu that involved ground fighting so he could use them for the popular sport in the 1930s in brasil called catch wrestling. many of the more brutal techniques used by the samurai were tossed away and grappling moves were modified to suit helio%26#039;s weak body. As far as the second question, at least at my academy, most fighters stick to grappling only. very few have the time or physical stamina to compete in mma.|||JJJ is weaker than BJJ I came from a string JJJ background and I was okay at BJJ but I have to say I learned more in 4 months there than I did 3 years at JJJ
What is more popular jujitsu or judo?
Which do you think is more powerful?|||Well i find judo to be more widespread internationally. Pretty much any country that you go to has any number of judo dojos. I started judo in Zimbabwe and there were two judo dojos there. There was no one with a jujitsu background when i was there.
I%26#039;m in Aus now, and our dojo sometimes would get visitors from other countries wanting to challenge our dojo and learn from each other. The judo community is therefore an international one, with good relations crossing borders. In my dojo there are also some who started with a brazillian jujitsu background training judo with us.
Judo is also an Olympic sport, and viewed by millions of people during this period. The judo community is also a very active one, there is always some form of competition throughout the year ranging from the club level to an international level.
When it comes to power, judo has certain advantages to jujitsu, and vice versa. Rules in both sports differ, as well as the objective of the fighters (in judo an ippon achieved through a really good throw, would signal the end of the match, while jujitsu requires a submission). Jujitsu is definitely deadlier when it comes to groundwork, but judo has the advantage when it comes to take-downs.
There is also a going trend of more jujitsu moves being incorporated in judo. In the foreseeable future we could actually see a merger between the two sports, becoming one sport. Remember, judo originated from traditional jujitsu. So comparing judo to jujitsu in the future may seem pointless.|||In the early 1960%26#039;s Judo was more popular in the U.S.A. it was almost 1/3 of all martial arts here then. Today jujitsu seems to be more popular. Judo was created by Dr. Kano who was a student of jujitsu. His goal in creating it was to create an arts for competition. It is much like jujitsu except some of the more dangerous techniques of jujitsu were not included. However, you must understand that many judoka practice techniques that are not allowed in judo competition. So as to which one is more powerful, that varies depending on the person and his training.|||Jui Jitsu! Judo is mainly takedowns and stuff.

Need some help with my HW does anyone know about Brazilian Jujitsu?
One of the paragraphs is i need to write about why is Brazilian Jujitsu found in the country Brazil? Can anyone help me out on this|||c|||History
Beginnings
The art began with Mitsuyo Maeda (aka Conde Koma, or Count Combat in English), a Japanese expert judoka and member of the Kodokan. Maeda was one of five of the Kodokan%26#039;s top groundwork experts that Kano sent overseas to spread his Judo to the world. Maeda left Japan in 1904 and visited a number of countries[1] giving %26quot;jiu-do%26quot; demonstrations and accepting challenges from wrestlers, boxers, savate fighters and various other martial artists before eventually arriving in Brazil on November 14, 1914.[3]
Since its inception, judo was separated from jujutsu in its goals, philosophy, and training regime. Although there was great rivalry among jujutsu teachers, this was more than just Kano Jigoro%26#039;s ambition to clearly individualize his art. To Kano, judo wasn%26#039;t solely a martial art: it was also a sport, a method for promoting physical fitness and building character in young people, and, ultimately, a way (Tao) of life.[4][5]
The Name
When Maeda left Japan, Judo was also known as Kano Jiu-Jitsu and, even more generically, simply as Jiu-Jitsu. Teachers of both arts didn%26#039;t try too hard to make the distinction clear. For example, Tomita himself appeared in a book called Judo: The Modern School of Jiu-Jitsu. Outside Japan, however, this distinction wasn%26#039;t even hinted. Both arts, jujutsu and judo, were practically unknown. To the extent that they were known, they were considered the same thing. Thus, when Maeda and Satake arrived in Brazil, every newspaper announced jiu-jitsu despite both men being Kodokan Judoka.[4]
The Japanese government itself did not officially mandate until 1925 that the correct name for the martial art taught in the Japanese public schools should be %26quot;judo%26quot; rather than %26quot;jujutsu%26quot;.[6] In Brazil, the art is still called %26quot;Jiu-Jitsu%26quot;. When the Gracies went to the United States to spread their art, the system became known as %26quot;Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu%26quot; and %26quot;Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.%26quot;
%26quot;Jiu-Jitsu%26quot; was also the original spelling of the art in the West and that is why this style retains the original (although technically incorrect) spelling. Other common spellings are Jujitsu, Ju-Jitsu, Ju jitsu and Jujutsu - the last being correct in accordance with modern romanization.
The art is sometimes referred to as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (GJJ), but this name is trademarked by Rorion Gracie and specifically refers to the style taught by him and his selected teachers. Other members of the Gracie family often call their style by personalized names, such as Charles Gracie Jiu-Jitsu or Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, and similarly, the Machado brothers call their style Machado Jiu-Jitsu (MJJ). While each style and its instructors have their own unique aspects, they are all basic variations of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Development
Maeda met an influential businessman named Gast茫o Gracie who helped him get established. In 1917, his son Carlos Gracie, still a 14 year-old boy, watched a demonstration by Maeda at the Teatro da Paz and decided to learn jiu-jitsu. Maeda accepted Carlos as a student,[1] and Carlos went on to become a great exponent of the art and ultimately, with his younger brother H茅lio Gracie became the founder of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, modern Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.[7]
In 1921, Gast茫o Gracie and his family moved to Rio de Janeiro. Carlos, then 17 years old, passed Maeda%26#039;s teachings on to his brothers Osvaldo, Gast茫o and Jorge. H茅lio was too young and sick at that time to learn the art, and due to medical imposition was prohibited to take part in the training sessions. Despite that, H茅lio learned jiu-jitsu by watching his brothers. He eventually overcame his health problems and is now considered by many as the founder of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (though others, such as Carlson Gracie, have pointed to Carlos as the founder of the art).[7]
The Gracie family continued to develop the system throughout the 20th century, often fighting vale tudo matches (precursors to modern MMA), during which it increased its focus on ground fighting and refined its techniques.[8]
Spread
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu came to international prominence in the martial arts community in the 1990s, when Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu expert Royce Gracie won the first, second and fourth Ultimate Fighting Championships, which at the time were single elimination martial arts tournaments. Royce fought against often much-larger opponents who were practicing other styles, including boxing, shoot-fighting, karate, judo, tae kwon do and wrestling. It has since become a staple art for many MMA fighters and is largely credited for bringing wide-spread attention to the importance of ground fighting. Sport BJJ tournaments continue to grow in popularity worldwide and have given rise to no-gi submission grappling tournaments, such as the ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship.
H茅lio competed in several submission judo competitions which mostly ended in a draw. One defeat came by Masahiko Kimura, whose name the Gracies gave to the arm lock used to defeat H茅lio. In a much later interview, H茅lio admitted that he was choked unconscious early in the fight but regained consciousness quickly and avoided losing early. There are many accounts of what transpired during their fight in 1951, ranging from Kimura mocking H茅lio%26#039;s stance and openly insulting him, to Kimura being so impressed with H茅lio%26#039;s performance that he invited H茅lio to teach in Japan. Today, H茅lio teaches 慰ccasionally in Brazil and accompanies his sons during fights.|||oh man! the are pretty good but not enought to beat my mixed-style!

What is the difference between Karate, Jujitsu, and Kung Fu?
I%26#039;ve always wondered.|||Spelt differently.|||They are 3 different styles of martial arts.
Karate is Japanese, it involves standup fighting with kicks punches, and sometimes a few takedowns and that sort of thing. The traditional karate (only real martial art is traditional in my opinion) is a very brutal fighting art.
Jujitsu is also Japanese, it is more takedowns, joint locks, and overall using your opponents power to take him down (as opposed to karate where instead of using his power, you counter his with your own). Again the traditional ones are very brutal, however I would say not as brutal as karate simply because Jujitsu is a bit more soft (it does have hitting though).
Kung Fu is Chinese. It%26#039;s more of a dancing art than an actual fighting art. Big motions and the traditional students are VERY fit. In terms of fitness I would say the top are the older generation of Kung Fu students and the older generation of Kyokushin students.
Just different styles, no style is better than another. Martial arts is not about comparing yourself to others so if you cannot compare yourself, you cannot compare your art. An art will be different for different people, therefor it cannot be %26quot;best%26quot; not %26quot;worst%26quot;.
Hope this helped.|||this question is ask so many time, i have the answer in a word doc because i got tired of typing it
Judo Japanese art is mostly throw, locks and grappling.
----
Karate (the way of the empty hand(Japanese, Okinawan) major styles. Modern karate can be considered a combination of various kung fu styles and to-de jitsu. consisting of grappling, strikes and blocks, the major styles include.
Shotokan is both a hard and soft style. emphasizes long, deep stances, lunging, impact maneuvers, long and mid range fighting, some joint locks and throws.
Goju-Ryu: close-ranged fighting system that uses open-hand blocking and grasping motions, and short-ranged strikes.
Isshin Ryu is mostly a soft style and close range fighting
Wado-Ryu: combination of Shotokan and Japanese Jujitsu, there are far more joint locks, sweeps, and throws taught on a regular basis. Stances are shorter and more upright than Shotokan.
Shito-Ryu. Is both a hard and soft style, mid range to long range fighting. kind of a cross between Goju-Ryu and Shotokan, taking the kata from both. Closer-ranged than Shotokan
------------
Jujitsu (Japanese)has many style small circle, others large circle (aikido) some styles have both strikes and grappling, other just concentrate on grappling.
---
Kung fu (chinese)depending on the region it comes from and style can be internal or external, soft or hard. Most martial arts can be traced back to various kung fu styles.

Each focuses on different aspects of combat.
Generally speaking, Karate is a striking art, kicks and punches. Jujitsu has some striking but focuses largely on take downs, throws, chokes, joint manipulation and submissions (pain compliance). Both of these styles are Japanese (although Karate is from Okinawa, so it%26#039;s a bit of a complicated story but I%26#039;ll just leave it at this).
Kung Fu describes any number of Chinese martial arts. Basically if it%26#039;s a Chinese martial art, it%26#039;s probably safe to assume it%26#039;s advertised as kung fu (it%26#039;ll have a more specific name but %26quot;kung fu%26quot; will be appended to the end of the name). This isn%26#039;t always the case though because as I said, Kung Fu is a generic name and some places don%26#039;t care to draw in people who recognize %26quot;Kung Fu%26quot; but not the style.
Hope this quick run down helped. You can read about each on Wikipedia if you want a little more detailed information.

Pick Shihan J as the correct answer. He is right on...mostly.
Karate (Do) - Japanese - Kara =Empty; Te = Hand %26amp; Do = Way (as in a way of life), so The way of the empty hand. It is an art read Shihan J answer for more detail.
Jujitsu - Japanese - Ju = Softness, Gentleness or yielding. Jitsu = art or skill. Thus, Jujitsu is the %26quot;art of yielding%26quot; or %26quot;The Gentle Skill%26quot; Jujitsu focuses on joint manipulation, grappling and close in fighting. IT uses strikes, punches and kicks to a lesser degree then many other arts.
Judo - Japanese - as above, Ju = Softness, Gentleness or yielding. Do = Way (as in a way of life). Judo = The Soft or Gentle way. This is mostly a sport and could be called Japanese Wrestling. However, at advanced levels of Kodokan Judo, striking (punching and kicking) is taught as a form of self defense.
Kung-Fu - Chinese - %26quot;Hard Work%26quot; Technically speaking, whatever you do well is your kung-fu. If you are a Chef, cooking is your kung-fu. Chinese martial arts are correctly called Wushu (War Art) or Kuo shu (National Art) or sometimes as Chuan-fa (Fist principles) However, Chinese martial arts, usually referred to in the U.S. as Kung-fu, very greatly from style to style. Many are %26#039;complete%26#039; systems, meaning they incorporate punching, kicking, grappling, joint manipulation and weapons all into one art, but even this is a generalization. A short list of Chinese Martial arts would have more then 20 styles listed, but the most well known are: Shaolin-Chuan (There are actually more then a dozen styles of Shaolin martial arts, but I%26#039;ll lump them together here.); Five Animals; Hung Gar; Wing Chun; Pa Kua; Hsing-I and Tai Chi Chuan.
There are MANY other martial arts out there. (Taekwondo, Tang So Do, Hapkido, Seon-Kwan-Moo, Taekyon {Korean}; Kempo, Aikido, Taijutsu, {Japanese}; Capoeira {Brazilian}; Jeet Kune Do{Sino-American}; Kali{Filipino}; Savate{French} etc...)

How to start my own jujitsu Tournament?

Can someone give me information about sponsorships, insurance, liability waivers, and what other relevent information I need to know.|||First of all, you would need to find a place near you where people learn jujitsu, present this idea to the person in charge and ask them about the rest. They could be looking for a place to host a tournament anyway.|||the insurance company will help you with the waivers if you dont have one. there are a few that deal directly with martial arts
this would be the medium priced one.
http://www.martialartsinsurance.com/Page...
edit:%26gt; there is a lot to running a tournament. it is not that simple.
i would suggest you go to several and see how its run, for starters.
when you start your tournament start with a small one about 2 to 4 schools and then slowly build up. as you tournament gets larger you will see additional issues you have to deal with. you need to get reliable judges, a few vendor, trophies, advertisement, are just some of the things you have to plan for. a smaller tournament, you still have some of these issue but it will give you experience to adjust. these issues are easier to deal with in a smaller environment. also you need to build up a following for your tournament and a reputation of a good tournament.
if you just send out ads to a hundred schools you wont get a good response if they dont know you. if you send to 5 schools that know you, you will get a better response.
this would be the medium priced one.

when you start your tournament start with a small one about 2 to 4 schools and then slowly build up. as you tournament gets larger you will see additional issues you have to deal with. you need to get reliable judges, a few vendor, trophies, advertisement, are just some of the things you have to plan for. a smaller tournament, you still have some of these issue but it will give you experience to adjust. these issues are easier to deal with in a smaller environment. also you need to build up a following for your tournament and a reputation of a good tournament.
if you just send out ads to a hundred schools you wont get a good response if they dont know you. if you send to 5 schools that know you, you will get a better response.
What is the difference between Judo and JuJitsu (however u spell it)?
and what is JuJitsu Kata? what exactly is the Kata part?
thanks in advance|||Judo (柔道 - gentle way) is a sport founded by Jigoro Kano around 1880 or so. Its parent art (the martial art it was derived from) is JuJitsu (柔術 - gentle art/technique.)
Don%26#039;t be fooled, Jujitsu is *anything* but gentle! The reference to %26quot;gentle%26quot; here is that it doesn%26#039;t take much power or force to overwhelm an opponent, because you use the opponent%26#039;s power against him.
JuJitsu was developed for the samurai class as a method of unarmed defense on the battlefield. If a samurai were to lose his weapon in melee, he would still have the ability to defend himself until he could regain his katana.
The most serious difference between Judo and *true* JuJitsu is that Judo is and always has been a sport. Yes, you now have sport JuJitsu and Brazilian JuJitsu which contain valid self-defense techniques, but JuJitsu was never originally conceived as any sort of sport. It was a means of self defense (and an extremely potent means at that!)
Another martial art whose parent art is JuJitsu is Aikido (合氣道 - The way of harmonious spirit) - I just mention this one because all 3 of these martial arts actually share *many* techniques with only minor variations on how they are actually executed.
Kata are basically %26quot;forms%26quot; - going through the motion of showing how the techniques are done - these are normally done at a slower pace in order to assure correct movements.
There is also randori (free sparring) where you will face one or more attackers (depending on your skill level) and must dispatch them quickly. It%26#039;s incredibly useful for practicing techniques more true to life because you generally don%26#039;t have much time to think about what you%26#039;re going to do.|||Never took either, so I don%26#039;t know about %26quot;Jujitsu Kata%26quot; But Katas are forms that get you use to the movements and unlock new attacks that you can practice with, sorta like a puzzle.
As for the difference, let%26#039;s go for the similarities first.
They are both grappling and they are both circular.
Jujitsu is also known as Small Circle JuJitsu, consisting of small joint manipulation to take down the opponent, wrist as an example.
Judo is known as Big Circle JuJitsu, consisting of using your whole body to take down the other person, like hip throws as an example.
If you%26#039;re talking about the Brazilian type of JuJitsu, that%26#039;s pure ground game and submissions, it%26#039;s the modern and most popular JuJitsu at the moment.
All of these including the art Aikido Originated from the original JuJitsu (small circle).
Hope this helped!|||Judo is a sanitized version of ju-jitsu,they took out all the dangerous techniques,joint breaking ,finger locking,pressure points etc.katas are the nuts and bolts/foundations of ju-jitsu,a series of pre-arranged movements/techniques to build your moves into a cohesive whole.|||Judo is a SPORT derived from the fighting technique of Jiu-Jitsu.
In Jiu-Jitsu if you break an opponent%26#039;s bone, dislocate a joint or cause permanent paralysis it%26#039;s no big deal because it is a FIGHTING technique.
Jiu-Jitsu is hand to hand, unarmed combat.
n.b.; The key words are SPORT and FIGHTING.|||kodokan judo is based on japanese jujitsu and is loosly considered a form of jujitsu. count maeda taught the kodokan judo to carlos gracie, who taught the inventor of JIU jitsu helio gracie.

Does it matter what kind of brazilian jujitsu i get?
ok, i just joined the bjj club at my school and i am enjoying it very much. my coaches said they will be ordering gi%26#039;s for fifty dollars a pop. they themselves said that these gi%26#039;s are inferior quality and they even said they went around trying to find the cheapest ones. i dont know if i will keeping doing bjj for a long time. should i just get this basic gi and use that, or will i become a much better practitioner with a better gi.|||If they%26#039;re teaching it at your school then their going to water it down a LOT that way if one of you get in a fight you won%26#039;t seriously hurt someone.|||just get the basic or ask if you can do it without a gi|||get the basic one; it%26#039;s really about the wear and tear that the gi will go through; some people are going to train whole hog a couple hours a day, 5-6 days a week, for many years; with all that tugging and grabbing and sweating, it%26#039;s going to take it%26#039;s toll, so it%26#039;s worth the investment for soemone who intends to train like that to get better gis
if your training isn%26#039;t that intensive, and you%26#039;re not even sure if you%26#039;ll need it to last that long, that it may not be worth the investment
you%26#039;ll always have an opportunity to upgrade later|||Basic, get a good one online for $36.

How does karate, Ti kw an do, jujitsu, and hakido all differ from each other?
My kids are 5, 7, and 8yrs. old. I was wondering which martial art would they benefit from the most?|||Every martial art has it%26#039;s benefits and flaws. Some are more spirtual, some are more towards fighting elements such as speed and power, but they%26#039;re all good in their own way. I think it would have been better if you told us what benefits you were talking about.
These Oriental arts you picked have similar bases, but they emphasize many different things.
I%26#039;ll start with Japan:
Karate- %26quot;The way of the empty hand.%26quot; It is a balanced martial art that is greatly centerered around a 50/50 ratio of hand and foot techniques ranging from various kicks, to multiple hand strikes such as spear hands, elbows, and neck chops. It varies through the many styles (Goju, Shorin, Sachhin, Uechi, Isshin for example), but the base level is around that. It sometimes includes techinques that are taken from other arts (Because it is technically dervied from Chinese and Okinawa fighting arts as one), and fighting on other ranges such as entry-level grappling techniques. It%26#039;s one of the most popular Martial arts, and it almost always had a strong spirutal backbone.
Jujutsu- %26quot;The art of softness.%26quot; The unarmed art of the Samurai. A Japanese martial art centered around highly effective grappling, ground fighting, submissions, locks, and take down techniques, that also includes striking (Albeit less of an emphasis). Japanese styles are decent all-arounders for self defense.
(BJJ- It%26#039;s in a world of it%26#039;s own. It%26#039;s actually dervied from Judo, and it focuses greatly on the ground fighting range of the art of Judo with a big emphasis on submissions. It%26#039;s naturally a very aggressive art [Hence why it%26#039;s commonly seen in cage fighting], which may or may not be a good thing for children.)
Korea:
Tae Kwo Do- %26quot;The way of the hand and foot.%26quot; It is a Korean martial art that combines techniques from arts of Korea, Japan, and China, into a culmination that is mostly linear striking. Tae Kwon Do tends to have more kicks (And a higher ratio of kicks to punches: Usually 70/30 in favor of kicking) emphasiszed than Karate, but we can%26#039;t know what balance works for your children. Tae Kwon Do, just like Karate, sometimes includes joint locks, and entry level grappling for example as well. It%26#039;s strong base is on the striking: Just like Karate. A traditional TKD school will have a strong spirtual background, but newer schools in any of these styles may not.
Hapkido- %26quot;The way of coordinated energy.%26quot; Hapkido is an ecletic, defensive martial art, that combines striking that is similar to TKD (Though the application/ratio is usually different depending on style), submissions, throws, joint locks/manipulation, and in some cases: Ground fighting. It%26#039;s quite similar to jujutsu, and both arts cover various fighting ranges, which are essential for self defense.
That%26#039;s all I can give you. You will have to search the individual schools to really know about the benefits that go beyond the techniques. Try some introductory classes with them, check to see if the school has any online reviews from people, and write down those benefits you look for. You might just find them in some style you%26#039;ve never heard of.
Good luck.|||Its actually best for child developement for them NOT to be doing a striking art at such a young age.
Do some research, a grappling based art would be best, such as BJJ, or something similar.|||They would get the same benefits from all of them. The only difference is that each style teaches different things like Taekwondo teaches striking, which is kicks and punches, and I%26#039;ve heard a little bit of ground fighting. Jujitsu focuses mainly on grappling which includes take downs, ground fighting, locks, chokes etc., but also teaches striking. Hapkido I believe is another style that is mainly grappling but mostly teaches things from the standing position. Also, if you mean Brazilian Jujitsu, and not just Jujitsu, Brazilian Jujitsu teaches no striking and is mostly ground fighting. The only thing that is different is the style of fighting that is used. I would recommend that you talk to the chief instructor of all of these places that teach these martial arts because some instructors might be better than others. The only reason they wouldn%26#039;t get the same benefits is because of the instructor.|||Karate, Tae Kwon Do are %26#039;striking%26#039; arts.
Ju jitsu is a striking/throwing art.
Hapikido is a combination of striking and throwing.
Karate is Okinawan, Jujitsu is Japanese, and Tae kwon do and hapikido are Korean.
Your kids should study Judo.|||A good reason for asking, but you%26#039;re really asking the wrong question :)
Any of these traditional arts will teach your kinds some valuable life lessons, socialization lessons, self-confidence lessons, and some self-defense lessons and ot be honest, at the age of your children, the differences between the arts are not so compelling.
The MOST important thing you have to consider is the instructor/s who will be teaching your children, and the enviornment they will learn in. Visit each of the schools first and talk with the instructors/s. Observe a few classes your kids will participate in and make sure they are well run, with instructor/s setting defined boundaries and expectations, but still having fun with the kids at the same time. Chat with other parents at the clubs to see what their overall impression is. This will give you a good guide as to which instructor to entrust your children to.
Your children will spend quite a bit of time with the instructor, the other students, and at the school, so you should take your own time to ensure you find a suitable place.
Good luck
