Different styles of Jiu Jitsu and short descriptions

[ColdFire]

I do Black Dragon Jiu Jitsu and I'm just wondering what kind of other types of jiu jitsu were out there, and briefly what they involve? :cool:

[Joseki]

I teach Freestyle Ju Jitsu and it involes lots of things from standing striking and locking throwing to the ground with locking striking etc.

I have been into it for 17 years and have lots of fun.

What is your style about

[Joseki]

And i forgot the most important thing Hello mate

[ColdFire]

well black dragon jiu jitsu is self defence syllabus but we are trainning for world games so its not only self defense. Its really a broad mix of striking, combos, throwing, and grappling. A lot of palming and the small circle theory is taught as well. Its really good fun

Hi Coldfire,

I study Goshin Do Tai Jitsu a derivative of Ju Jitsu. We train in striking (open and closed hand), low level kicking, grappling, weapons/defences, groundwork and PP's. All of our training is for SD/combat and we don't do competitions although we do pressure test.

I do an art called 'combat ju jitsu Wales' -It's non competition!!! it focuses on no- fuss striking/kicking locks including some small circle theory, closed & open hand strikes, elbows, Knees, headbutts using the body weight behind them, kicking low to vunerable (sensible - knees ,groin etc) areas. Throws/takedowns and groundwork/grappling. Also easy pressure points to strike/get hold of, body/face/eye gauging - finger snapping, in fact anything that works for you basically!

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

I've trained in Brazilian Jujitsu, which is as style that consists of fighting on the ground. In that, you have grappling, arm locks, chokes, ankle locks, any and everything you can do from the ground. This style is...because it is said that most fights end up on the ground, therefore, this style specializes on learning how to opporate in such situation. It's really cool:cool:

Not everything.

"Not everything...."

What do you mean:confused:

[samurai]

Greetings fellow Jiujitsuka. I train in the system of Sanuces "Eye to Eye" Jiujitsu as founded by the ledgendary Dr.Moses Powell.. In Sanuces we train in every area of combat just as the "Samurai". Our training is not for competition; it is for "Survival"! For more information go to http://www.hillsidejiujitsu.com Peace, Mark Walker Sensei

[SoKKlab]

As far as the Jitsu's go, I train in some BJJ/ Vale Tudo (Although not as much as I'd like) and some JJJ (Aiuchi-Ryu), which pretty much covers everything and the Combat Kitchen Sink.

I plan to get back into BJJ etc in a more serious way, but haven't found a Club that was decent, suited my needs and taught from a Self-Defence POV, except ones that cost a Prosthetic Arm and a Leg. Although that may well change soon as I've sussed a couple out close to me and plan to go take a look.

I take BJJ to cope with Grappling attacks and keep the Vertical and I see the Groundwork as an Emergency Option and not a First Port of Call-something worth knowing in order to regain your footing Asap.

We sometimes cover similar ground (No pun intended) in the JJJ, but because it contains so much, the Groundwork and Grappling stuff is only an occasional thing. One week we might be doing Weapons, the next Throws, the Next Locks etc etc.

[capaloco]

I do Dayto Ryu but my sensei has a lot of knowledge in Brazilian so it's a kind of mix.

[lordkovacs]

Mine is kind of a mix too. My sensei has a strong background in Judo to go along with his very impressive background in JJJ. So, you can see a lot of Judo in what we do, particularly in ground work. Ours is also quite similar to the Canadian style.

cheers,
MIKE

[TheMachine]

I train in both BJJ and ahkko ryu jujitsu

[Mr_Massacre]

I train in Kempo Jujitsu

[Nimrook]

I train at the only Gracie Jiu Jitsu academy in all of Alaska. Gracie Brazillian Jiu Jitsu is an offshoot of japanese jiu jitsu, except modified to be more of a self defense technique then just a sport martial art.

[Nimrook]

by the way what is the circle theory, I've never heard of it.

[Freeform]

Nimrook, Gracie JJ is more an off-shoot of Judo ;)

I'll dig up a link.

You sure you got that the right way round? Japanese Jujutsu isn't a sport martial art at all for the most part.

[Nimrook]

japanese jiu jitsu has evolved into a sport martial art while brazillian jiu jitsu is still a self defense due to it's adaptaion to take on larger opponents and the vale tudo fights of brazil.

Judo? last time I checked helio gracie was taught jiu jitsu from a japanese jiu jitsu master.

[Nimrook]

huh, that is weird, I always thought judo came much later, and a few articles I read refered to helio as being the creator of BJJ, well I guess you could call him that since he did refine it into what it is today through years of fighting in vale tudo. But hey you learn something new everyday

[Aegis]

Maeda taught Judo to the Gracies, he was a member of the Kodokan and had trained exclusively in Judo for many years before going to Brazil. He may have taught the Kodokan atemi- and goshin-jutsu methods, but it was still Judo, not jujutsu.

This statement has me totally baffled. BJJ is known for it's effectiveness as a sports martial art, not so much for self defence, largely because most of its instructors agree that going to ground in a self defence situation would be a bad idea but train almost exclusively on the floor. Sorry if this sounds like an ignorant point of view, but it's one I've seen expressed many times over the last few years on forums such as this.

Japanese Jujutsu has not developed into a sport, that's Judo. Jujutsu is still practiced as a self defence martial arts for the most part. I don't see how you can modify a pure self-defence art to be more self defence than it was before.

SPORT martial artists are the best eqquiped to defend themselves.

Dare I ask (for fear of hearing the same stuff all over again), because......?

[hedgehogey]

I will type it again, just this once.

Fighting is more than just techniques. You must have experience with an aggresive opponent who's not pretending. The only way to defend against violence is to experience it.

This is exactly what sport (full contact) athletes do.

This is the principle of "aliveness". You can read a much more detailed explanation on straightblastgym.com

Unless of course you were being sarcastic...

[warren]

no matter how good bjj is for self defence it is still a sport and a sport that came off another sport ie judo which in turn came off traditional jujutsu.
having said that each has its own merits just as each has its own pitfalls

[Crow]

My style is called LiiKan Jujitsu (very small style here in Finland). It is mainly jijutsu (techniques seems to be "all" jujitsu) with many concepts from kung fu, my sensei trained many years both jujitsu and Lau Gar among other styles. All self defence, altough we move on to "the real" stuff little slow because usually among those who start half just want to get good at fighting quickly and go rip someone's head off.

[OBCT]

Im an aikidoka, but I fancy trying this Aiuchi Jiu Jitsu they also do at my dojo, whats it all about is it? mostly striking? groundwork? what?

Guess I'll have to go see. Anyone else know that style?

Hi OBCT,
Aiuchi-Ryu JJ is a modern Ju Jitsu system that split from the Jitsu Foundation, ten years ago.

Although like all or most JJJ styles, there is a technical emphasis right across the board, I feel that it is fair to list the elements and what percentage they (generally) account for training in Aiuchi Ryu as:

1) Wrist Locks, Arm Locks and Throws and their Escapes, Breakfalling
2) Defence against 'Common Assaults' ie Lapel Grab and Headbutt, Wrist grab
3) Atemi Striking, Neck Cranks, Chokes and Leg etc Locks
4) Striking and Groundwork, Both as Judo and as Judo plus nasty bits

Least that's my view based on training at the club I attend. Emphasis will differ as per the Instructor and Club.

[OBCT]

Much appreciated, although i still think i'd better go.
Notice your a film maker, i do photography (stills), do you combine film and MA or not ? I'm still getting my head around lighting systems and shooting at faster speeds, so i can combine them.

Er, yes you should go and check out the Aiuchi Ryu club.

Do I combine Marts and Filmmaking?
I have done a couple of times, but I keep getting kicked in the Lense...

But Sheriously. As of yet, I haven't made any Martial Arts Movies-although I have shot a few seminars, competitions etc, if I could come up with a great script for a Great Martial feature film, it would be a start.

If you are shooting at Faster speeds with Fast Film, you rarely need lights, depending upon what you are trying achieve, artistically..but I'm sure you've sussed this out.

Good Luck. normal Ju Jitsu Thread resumed.
