RafaThey are essentially the same, however, have differences significant enough to be called a separate discipline.
Modern Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu branched out from the traditional "jujutsu" of the samurais. Today, these three main branches are practiced all over the world. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the branch set forth by the legendary Gracie family of Brazil. Modern Juno is the brainchild of Prof Jigoro Kano of Japan. Some traditional forms and schools of Jujutsu are still alive and practiced in different parts of Japan.
Ju jitsu and Karate are both very old Japanese martial arts. Ju Jitsu translates as the gentle art / way and focus' primarily on grappling techniques, joint locking and throws. Karate translates as open hand or foot and uses mostly striking techniques like chops, punches and kicks.
Each of Taekwondo, Judo, and Karate are names given to various Martial Art systems. Although each curriculum are different in some regards, they are each methods of unarmed combat with connections to both military and civilian self defense. The each contain philosophies of using laws of physics and natural forces for the weaker defender to overcome a larger, stronger, or armed attacker.
They all implement teachings of physical fitness and good health, training for preparedness and awareness, confidence and self control, as well as a duty to act morally, responsibly, and legally in the application of fighting skills. The each use the strategy of distance and avoidance, blocking, parrying and/or redirecting of an opponent's attacking force. Each use various stances, postures, and movements for balance, and physical control of one's self as well as the situation encountered. All of these systems use, to one degree or another, techniques in striking (with hands, feet, elbows, and knees, etc.) throwing (sweeps, reaps, flips, projections and other throws), and grappling skills for standing, sitting and lying down - such as in ground-fighting, Wrestling, or for rape defense.
The main differences is the priority and order of preference for application of each category of techniques in a real-life situation. Some approach with a preference for striking first, and throwing or grappling secondary (Taekwondo and Karate) while others prefer to grapple, throw, or ground-fight - using strikes only as needed to facilitate the close quarter range (as in Judo). Taekwondo places a greater emphasis on the kicks as a primary choice, but this philosophy does not negate the other aspects of throwing and grappling which are an integral part of all self defense training. Karate and judo use kicks, but more as secondary to either hand strikes, or throwing and grappling.
