Sky Posted May 25, 2004 Posted May 25, 2004 Hello, I would like to know which is the best style between karate and ju-jitsu for all around skills. I hear that ju-jitsu is good, but that is does not help for striking. Karate is my other option that I can train in, and I was wondering if you learn throws and things like that in karate. Does ju-jitsu involve weapons training of any kind? Which is better for fighting? Also, what are the attributes of the different styles of karate, and which is the best one for a total beginner to learn? Which is the most all inclusive?
Gumbi Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Quite honostly, Ju Jitsu and Karate are pretty generic terms. But anyways, Karate is generally hard deliberate strikes due to its one strike one kill philosophy. There are no throws in karate, and no clinch work for that matter. Ju Jitsu, well, it depends on what kind of Ju Jitsu you prefer to take. Ju Jitsu is Japanese Ju Jitsu. Jiu Jitsu is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (they pride themselves in spelling it the wrong way). JJJ depends on which school of thought you're learning from- many schools emphasize more strikes, looking alot like Karate, while some emphasize more throws, resembling Judo, and finally others that are more ground fighting, looking like BJJ. Most JJJ schools I've seen do mostly striking techniques. As far as weapons training, I do believe JJJ has alot of sword training. Quite simply though, no style is easy for an absolute beginner to learn- you're called a beginner for a reason you know?
Chirath Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Do Wado Ryu. Then you get to learn a mix of Ju-Jitsu and Shotokan at the same time
Treebranch Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 Jujitsu is different from Ju-Jitsu which is Brazilian. Jujitsu is JJJ and does teach weapons, striking, and grappling. Do what you enjoy, so you have some research to do. "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
cross Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 There are no throws in karate, and no clinch work for that matter. That depends on the style.
muaythaifreak Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 If I had to bet, I'd put my money on the BJJ practitioner everytime. That's just my 2 baht worth.

Yes, if someone doesn't understand kata application, it is as you say. But when someone understands Karate, it become simalar to Ju Jitsu with grappling in close, lots of throws, and some striking in the clinch. I won't say I understand Ju Jitsu, so your probably right about that. If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point. No point in what, you might ask? there's just no point.Many people seem to take Karate to get a Black Belt, rather than getting a Black Belt to learn Karate.

Sadly, today, you would probably win that bet, because true understanding of Karate groundfighting, throws, clinchwork, and properly executed stikes is hard to come by.
