Can someone please tell me the basics of jui jitsu? (oops, I hope I spelt that correctly.... ) Just I want to try another martial art, one that isn't like kickboxing.

Jiu jitsu is one of the oldest martials arts.

 

Its a grappling art, and have some stricking too, which is call Atemi its the art of hitting on vital points of the body.

 

The Art of jiu jitsu have a lot of diferents schools in Japan.

 

They have techniques for almost every situation , Against kicks, punches, collar grabs, bear hugs, etc..

 

they use take downs, wrist locks, chockes, arm locks , leg locks, on there feet and on the ground.

 

Brazilian jiu jitsu is a version of Jiu jitsu that focus more on taking the oponnet down and beat him on the floor, but i learned that they have stand up techniques as the other school of jiu jitsu.

 

And i think is great if you can take jiu jitsu, because kickboxing focus in strikes and Jiu jitsu focus in grappling, So you have a nice combination there.

Wow, thanks for the info SubmissionFighter. That's exactly what I'm looking for. They offer jiu jitsu in my area too...a nice bonus.
