when it comes to Grappling i'm an idiot!

[koreantiger81]

I"m an expert only in the korean martial arts of karate forums..Anyway, i'm wondering about judo and Brazilian juijitsu?

 

In judo is it just all throws? in brazilian juititsu, do you ever throw? is it even legal in braz. juitsitu? can you punch in ju jit su....?

 

can you use pressure points or joint locks in judo or ju jit su?

 

someone give me an overview! thanks!!

no judo also grapples on the floor. in a comp if your thorw isnt complete then you will have to go to the floor and take them out. BJJ has throws but it is not as throw driven like judo.(i think)

 

you cant punch in judo.

 

and you can use joint locks in judo and jujitsu but no pressure points in judo. (we use pressure points in our jujitsu but im not sure about others)

 

hope i can help.

Not that I am trying to sell Aikido, as it really sells itself. Have a look at an Aikido dojo, the throws are less strength orintated, very few go over the hips, so size is of no real worry. Aikido covers, striking, throwing, pinning, locking, breaking, floor grappling, tanto (knife), Jo(4ft stick) and Bokken (sword). Also the major ingredient, KI!

 

BJJ does no weapons, it only does disarming, same goes for Judo, but they are both VERY cool MA's.

 

Just my Opiniuon.

kensai..wow..aikido involves breaking too???? I didn't know that..I thought it was just a soft-martial art that used opponents power or ki against them.

[Kensai]

Indeed. It can be seen very easily that the holds could break your arms, if the soft and gentle pressure was continued.

 

Remember that soft Martial arts are very destructive, but they just do things in a different way.

If you were looking for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I'd say look for a teacher with some background in judo - many BJJ instructors don't teach enough stand up and it sucks. Most beginner sparring in BJJ starts from the knees....not good for practical self-defense

 

Vale Tudo (No Holds Barred....NHB...anything goes....) involves punching, kicking, knees, elbows, takedowns, and grappling. Most BJJ schools will teach this to advanced students. In BJJ, generally beginners learn only with the gi or kimono, and after a few months or year begin to roll more no gi. Some schools offer a class where you wear jeans and a tee shirt.

 

BTW, where do you live? If I were you, I'd take an intro class at every school near you, or at least watch a few. Good luck.

bjj has some good throws , used in judo, but bjj wants to defeat and opponent on the ground and judo wants to knock and opponent out by throwing him, both similar arts, in my bjj we use gi 3 out of 4 weeks a month

koreantiger,

 

You might want to consider aikijujistu for the best of both worlds. Most schools teach nage waza(throws and takedowns) kansetsu waza (joint locking and immobilizations) atemi waza (striking teckniques) and ne waza (groundfighting) with both submissions and chokes. Weapons are often taught as well as weapon seizing (emono dori). This sort of curriculum seems to cover most bases without the over specialization seen any mony other similar arts such as aikido, judo and brazilian jujitsu.

 

But that's just my two cents. Hope I was of some help.

In Judo throws isn't everything, but it's their in what they focuses in, also they do ne-waza (groundwork).

 

In BJJ you do throws, but it isn't they strength, in fact, in a BJJ Competition, you begin stand up and when you takedown your opponent you get 2 points.

 

You can use joint locks in BJJ but not in Judo.
