Hey,
What is the diffrence between Jiu-Jitsu and Ju-Jitsu? I see them spelled diffretnley a lot and I was wondering are these two actuall diffrent styles or is it just a typing error? If they both are diffrent fighting styles which one is more combative and usefull in a street fight? What is the main diffrence? How are they diffrent. Thank you for your time and effort. Bye.

Nothing, its just two romanisations of the same Japanese I believe.

Ready to be proved wrong and laughed at! ;)

freeform is correct.

However, in general terms today, JIU jitsu normally refers to Brazilian Jiujitsu.

JU jitsu tends to refer to Traditional Jujitsu.

In actual fact, Jujitsu is the 'correct' way to spell it, but the Brazilians continue with the JIU..... it's all nonsense anyway. Just train.
