Style Vs Style.

Well............... you see in Aikido, we are there is no competition. So this sort of x vs y is discouraged. However I cant denie that I would like to test my skills against a good jujutsuka.

You can tell a friend who be a jujutsuka and practice, you can tap anyway..

I have a good sense of what Aikidoka do, but what exactly does traditional Jui jitsu entail? Any good sites?

In my case it's a lot like Aikido but the circles are smaller (not to be confused with Small Circle Jujitsu). And strikes are used when necessary, but that may not be traditional.

I think that arts that place large parts of their training on grappling and throwing etc are very effective for use on the street because generally people with little fighting experience on the street will just run at you flailing their arms....but if they were fighting someone from a art such as karate or kung fu who had been training long enough 4 most moves 2 become reflex and the person from the other art grabbed them to apply a lock or attempt a throw i believe the karate practitioner (for example) would be perfectly capable of issueing a strike or kick before the lock/throw was put into use.......while i,m typin i might as well ask wats wit da belts at the edge of each message?

You earn the belts as you make more posts.

 

"i believe the karate practitioner (for example) would be perfectly capable of issueing a strike or kick before the lock/throw was put into use"

 

Ofcourse this is your belief, but its not as simple as that. I am not trying to say that grappling arts are superior, but from what I know of Aikido you are put in a position where you cant strike or kick. Someone with locking/throwing training can deliver those techniques just as quick as a punch or kick. This ofcourse has been proved by various Aikidoka.

 

So every style is "equally" capable of defeating another. Just depends on how good you can use it.

[jiu-jitsu fighter]

it is down to the practioner, strategy and other factors that would come into play,

 

i believe bjj would work best against most striking styles( karate,tkd, etc...

 

but i also think that i would have trouble defeating such opponents as kajukenbo, silat, aikido students, because they would try to keep the fight standing,

 

anyways, good thread

It never seems to work out that way, once that lock lands 90% of people forget about their training and concentrate on the fact that their arm/wrist is hurting so much.

 

I've been in that situation and tried to get a punch off, but as I started to move the other guy just put on more pressure and that stopped me dead in my tracks.

The more I learn about silat themore amazing I find it, the power in the legs and speed it builds are phenomenal. If you get the chance try a few classes.
