pitters Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 1. I did some research on the web on Jiu Jitsu and there is a lot of talk about throws, locks, strikes but very little about kicks. Are kick techniques taught?2. Having been with competitve Judo - are kicks & punches allowed in competitve Jiu Jitsu or is it basically Judo + locks and strangle holds?Thanks!!

alsey Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 since you're spelling it jiu jitsu i'm guessing its brazillian jiu jitsu. as far as i know BJJ doesn't involve much striking, its pretty much all takedowns, ground work and submissions.in japanese jujitsu (or jiu jitsu or whatever), you'll most likely get a fair bit of striking training as well as grappling. all the jujitsu schools i've been to teach the basic front kick, side kick and roundhouse kick.

Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy.

bushido_man96 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 First of all, welcome to KF! As far as competitive jiu-jitsu goes, I think that it is mainly a ground game, minus the kicking and striking. But I could be wrong. There may be organizations out there that combine them. I think that it may be more along the lines of the comment you made about competitive judo with chokes and joint locks. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitions compete this way. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koryu Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 When training in JuJutsu, it is basically the ground grappling, although we did study several different takedowns and so forth, we really didn't incorporate any standing strikes or kicks into the training.

Jiffy Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 It really depends, what are you talking about? Brazillian or Japanese? Two completely different games.Brazillian is nearly all groundwork and has little to no kicks. It does have competitions.Japanese is a more rounded art, but it all depends on how it's taught as to how much kicks are in it. There are no JJJ competitions that I'm aware of.... that's what Judo was invented for. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.

Coco Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Kicks are taught. In the little jiu jitsu experience I have, I can tell you that kicks are a decent way to distract an oponent and keep him at a distance. However, if your opponent knows jiu jitsu, I wouldnt even try and kick because most likely ill end up in a clinch and being taken down. So kicks ARE tought, but if you use them against someone who knows BJJ, youre dead Shito Ryu (3rd kyu) RETIRED - 2002-2003Now studying BJJ(2006) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps1 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 In the USJJF (United States Jujitsu Federation) competitions, strikes are allowed. The following link will take you to their website. They are affliliated with the JJIF.https://www.usjjf.orgAs others have mentioned, Jiujitsu, spelled as such tends to refer to Brazillian Jiujitsu, wich does not allow for strikes in competition.
