parkerlineage Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I was just hit by a realization...or question.Is jiu-jitsu this brazillian thing, and ju-jitsu the Japanese one, or is there no difference? Until just now, I had assumed they were interchangable spellings.

bushido_man96 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 No, I don't think there is any difference, just two different spellings. I think. Maybe. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoMstrSgt Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 From what my master has explained to me Traditional or Japanese Ju Jitsu has a focus on performing lock and throws while standing up, while brazillian Jiu jitsu focuses on taking the fight to the ground and working on submissions from there. That is why we practice both because each one is half of the fight. That is what I've been told anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerlineage Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 So the spelling does matter, then? American Kenpo Karate- First Degree Black Belt"He who hesitates, meditates in a horizontal position."Ed Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMstrSgt Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 As far as Ju Jitsu, Jiu Jitsu, Jujitsu, i don't think so, but as far as between japanese or brazilian than yeah i think it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewGreen Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 All written the same in Japanese, but there have been different ways to convert the japanese words into our alphabet, so which spelling just depends on who did the translating, and what conventions they used (and when) Andrew Greenhttp://innovativema.ca - All the top martial arts news!

Jiffy Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 The spelling are inter-changable. Don't worry about them.As for the difference between the two, I'll try to summarise. (and generalise)Japanese Jiu Jitsu - 85% standup, 15% groundworkBrazillian Jiu Jitsu - 5% standup, 95% groundwork The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.
