One teaches techniques and theories, the other puts those theories and techniques into practice.

Japanese Jujutsu is a police-type art family that has a wide range of control techniques from a variety of positions. Because it has more techniques, each technique gets a relatively small amount of time, and some techniques cannot be trained safely with intent because of the risk of seriously damaging training partners. However, the tools are effective and the range of tools gives a lot of tactical options.

Brazilian Jiu Jutsu is a "filter" of Jujutsu (actually, of Judo which is itself a filter) - that is, it is created by beginning from a larger library of techniques, and removing all but a smaller number of techniques fitting a philosophy or training goal. In the case of BJJ, it focuses heavily on "groundfighting", that is, using wrestling type movements to get to the position of being tangled with a single opponent on the ground, then place them in a submission position or render them unconscious. The filter from Judo's "no intrinsically damaging movements to allow full power sparring" means that they can practice with full intent on each other (and thus tend to greatly outperform more theoretical practitioners in their field because of their direct experience), but also limits their tools significantly; BJJ stylists may encounter serious, if not insurmountable, difficulties in situations where "ground and pound" tactics are unadvisable such as multiple attackers, hazardous ground, crowds, or armed attacker.

Oh, you don't really think its over do you?

No way it's over. But a good summary by Justice Zero. Study JJJ with BJJ or Judo to get it all.
