JusticeZero Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Well, Judo -is- in essence a form of wrestling.. Jujutsu was to a large extent just the term for the wrestling, etc. arts of Japan. Judo and Aikido both spring from that root, with different focus; Judo was developed by removing the high damage (joint-breaking, groin-striking, eye-gouging, knee-popping, etc) techniques to allow for more realistic free-sparring, where Aikido focused on a certain dynamic of blending movement and defense. The wrestling common to Euro-Americans is similar not because it has a similar root but because there's really only so many effective ways to approach similar problems, and any group of would-be grapplers will eventually stumble across some form of all the grappling basics. It too is filtered down to focus on specific rules and scenarios by it's rules. I think that Judo is a common thing in the training mix, but for such matches, "pure" Judo or Aikido tends to be a mismatch to the rules and objectives of the game. It's not that they're ineffective, it's that they don't score, and everyone in such a venue is going to know how to mitigate their attacks. Everyone in the UFC knows how to breakfall, and they're on a smooth and not especially punishing surface. In the wild, most people don't know how to fall, and they're over cement and rough ground.
