Basic Questions on Jiu Jitsu

[AndrewGreen]

All depends on the school. If you went to a BJJ school with a sport JJ focus, you might never do kicks. On the other hand a BJJ school with a Vale Tudo / MMA focus probably would do striking quite a bit.

[Iceman]

Well, there is some kicking/punching involved, but the focus lies on the groundwork (specially with BJJ, that I did).

I think it's about 80%-20%

Since this is already a Jiu-Jitsu/jujitsu question thread I'll add on to this instead of making a new thread. Are there kata's in BJJ? Are there some in JJJ? I'd like to learn BJJ but I don't want to learn any katas.

No. BJJ does not teach or contain any kata. Some JJJ systems have kata, but not in the same sence you would see in a karate class. They require two people.
