Training in Shito-ryu karate or training in Can-Ryu Jiujitsu

[Oa2k]

Hi I'm not really new to martial arts or anything but I've never trained in a particular art past white belt level. Nevertheless I'm trying out shito-ryu karate tomorrow and right after I'm trying can-ryu jiujitsu all at deschamps martial arts academy. I was wondering a few things about the both.

 

First off have any of you trained in any of these 2 arts before and if so can you tell me what its like training in them. Do you feel that shito ryu is effective on the streets? I was also wondering in the can-ryu system has any katas in them. I know it teaches strikes, punches and kicks on top of the standard holds and throws but i was wondering if there was any forms of katas in the art.

 

Thank you for your time.

Ive never heard of can-ryu jiujitsu but that means nothing. Let us know how it is and what it consists of. have fun

I have studied Tani-Ha Shito-Ryu (Or Shukokai as it is better known) and I can tell you it is quite useful. But trying to compare wether to study ju Jitsu or karate (in any style) is hard. You will get different things from both of them:

 

Karate - A Basis in traditional Kicking, punchink, blocking and sweeping type things.

 

Ju Jitsu - A basis in throwing, locking, strangling/choking and submission fighting along with grappling.

 

I have started studying a progressive system of Ju Jitsu and it complements my many years in Karate and taught me things i never realised I needed to know!

 

So study them both mate - Y not?!
