Session length varies from school to school, there are no kata in jujitsu and belt progression also varies, but is usually similar to karate.

A Black Belt is just a white belt that don't know when to quit!

Another reason why I'm choosing Jiujitsui...I respect kata and those who implement it, but I don't really believe in it. *shrugs*, it's a matter of personal choice.

To condemn the art of another is to condemn your own as well. We all have the same origin.

When you hear a Jujitsu student talking about doing kata, they are not refering to a form of dance or set formations, they are talking about doing the technique it self. And its practiced on a fellow student rather than in the air (most schools). I enjoy Jujitsu because you spend your time training in a realistic training environment. Ofcourse I can not speak for all forms of Jujitsu for there are hundreds of versions out there but with my experience Jujitsu is training on what ever works and if My Jujitsu program does not have a technique in it that is proven to work then that technique is added and becomes part of the training.

 

Jujitsu is not better or worst than other forms of training out there but alot of Jujitsu schools out there are always adding to better the program with realistic techniques and training methods. So that right there lets you know that Jujitsu is up there on the list of being pretty darn good!!!!

A True Martial Arts Instructor is more of a guide than anything, on your way to developing the warrior within yourself!!!!!

Most jujitsu is based in practical techniques,not katas, you then learn variations on techniques to enable yourself to adapt to different situations in combat.

 

Our sessions are usually about 1.5-2 hours in length with about 30 minutes of that being devoted to the 'body conditioning' part of the training.

 

Belt progression (at least in DanzanRyu Jujitsu) is based soley on how quickly your body develops and how quickly your mind is able to absorb the techniques. You may not gain belts as often as you would in Karate, but you will definitely be gaining 'real world' effectiveness. Most of the techniques you learn even at the very beginning of your training are designed to cripple. Jujitsu also gets into weapon defense quite a bit which is a lot of fun, I hope you enjoy it.

Ju jItsu will teach you real life situations and how to deal with them. It will also teach you to counter moves more than Karate does, It may also teach you how to counter the counters! lol

 

As for Kata - they are few and far between and it depends on the style.

 

Like some of these guys have said - Ju Jitsu teaches grappling - locks, throws ,chokes etc. It is also ver yadaptive usually and moves are incorporated if they work!

 

It's all good!
