Japanese Ju jutsu involves neutralizing an enemy while usually unarmed or lightly armed because you can't punch through a samurai's armor techniques were developed around the principle of using an attacker's energy against them using throws leg sweeps pins & joint locks so even a unarmed person could still trip or throw a samurai to the ground & stab him or snap a arm choke or strangle him to death. Brazilian Ju Jutsu came from samurai who left Japan due to the arts dying out (Guns!)they conbined Brazilian wresting with Ju jutsu to create a new fighting form . In Bjj you can fight on your back or get your enemy on their back or others positions to lock choke pin or snap a leg or arm off. (Take note in Bjj you are mostly on the ground not standing.)

Either is good. Personally I do Japanese Jujitsu and i like it a lot more than Brazilian which i have also done. I have practiced Japanese Jujitsu with a man who was around 400 pounds and he was great at it.

Pros and cons of youth martial arts?

Like all martial arts, Jujitsu is designed to help an individual become a better person. As a martial art it is catagorized in the grappling family, meaning that the primary focus is on grabbing and controlling the opponent. It can be hard on the joints for an older individual that is just starting out and dangerous for someone that is still young and growing. Jujitsu, contrasted to Judo, is aimed more at actual combat. Judo, while also effective in combat, is focused on competition and not causing permanent damage. ---------------- In the interest of a productive, informative answer, I'd like to comment on the answer given above and hope the original respondent will reply."Like all martial arts, Jujitsu is designed to help an individual become a better person." Better in what sense? Why would it be created for anything other than self-defence? The fact that mental/spiritual elements appear is immaterial, nothing more than a remnant of the Japanese warrior class. Such philosophy existed independently of martial arts, so it is apparent that martial arts themselves appear out of the necessity to learn how best to deal with violence. "As a martial art it is catagorized in the grappling family, meaning that the primary focus is on grabbing and controlling the opponent." Firstly, there are no martial arts "families" in the way that is described. Secondly, Japanese jujitsu encompassed far more than grappling techniques - remember it is part of a complete system that stems from the samurai. Brazilian jujitsu on the other hand is a pure grappling art, but to refer to jujitsu as a whole as solely grappling is misleading."It can be hard on the joints for an older individual that is just starting out..." True, as can any other intense physical activity. However, assuming proper care is taken, even fairly elderly individuals can reach a good level of performance without injuring their joints."...and dangerous for someone that is still young and growing." Dangerous in what sense? Dangerous to the development of bones? This is as true of jujitsu as it is of gymnastics or weightlifting, i.e. not at all. Dangerous in the sense that young, boisterous individuals might injure themselves through lack of attention? This is at least 10 times more likely to happen playing soccer than jujitsu. "Jujitsu, contrasted to Judo, is aimed more at actual combat. Judo, while also effective in combat, is focused on competition and not causing permanent damage." Is it aimed at actual combat or competition? Contradictory statements like this only serve to confuse. Judo is primarily a sport, and was developed as such, although one's training could incorporate it and focus it in a self-defence context as many thousands do so successfully.


Is jujitsu a good martial art?

In my opinion, yes, jujitsu is very helpful when it comes to grapples, wrist locks and what not. It hardly requires any strength whatsoever because most of the attacks involve using the opponent's strength against themselves. Another good thing about jujitsu is the wrist locks, even the biggest of people have pressure points, apply these correctly and you have control of the fight. In jujitsu they not only teach you how to master pressure points but how to get out of them.

Which is better cardiac output or cardiac index?

Cardiac index (CI) is better. Because you count with the body surface. When you have a cardiac output (CO) of certain value in a small and thin person, the same value can be insufficient in a tall and fat person. In CI you devide CO by the person's surface and you get much better idea of what's going on ;)

Should you take Kickboxing or Jujitsu or both Im 510 at 170pounds i want to learn self defense so i could protect my self in the streets and my friend told me it is a good exercise?

These martial arts have their place in a sports venue, but they are not very effective self-defense systems unless you are an advanced practitioner. The best self-defense systems are non-traditional eclectic systems that utilize gross motor skills. All the traditional arts rely on very well trained fine motor skills. But fine motor skills in an average person degrade more and more under high stress, fast paced, self-defense situations. Fine motor skills take years to learn. Gross motor skills are the motor skills you learned as a young child, and are optimized in high stress self-defense situations. If you want to spend years learning a traditional art, one of the better choices is Japanese (as opposed to Brazilian) Jujitsu. You spend a lot of time on the ground in Brazilian Jujitsu, and that's not wise if you find yourself facing more than one opponent.

Are there gentle martial arts?

There are martial arts that are referrd to as "soft" styles. These are more gentle then other "hard" style martial arts. However, when compared to just about anything else that is not a martial art, even Tai Chi is not very gentle when used on a person. As a side note, Judo and Jujitsu (the name sake for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) is translated into English as "The Way of Softness" or "The Gentle Way."
