Classical Jujitsu styles

[Mordred]

With so many clubs teach eclectic styles I would like to know which classical jujitsu schools exist, e.g. daito ryu, etc.

I apologise in advance if this has been discussed already, I had a search but could find nothing.

try koryu.com they have a good list of classical systems.

Thanks Sub zero!

Did the classical styles of jujitsu include striking and kicking as well, or was it just grappling?

Depends on the ryu. Some did grappling, some did striking, some both. Ju-jitsu is an open art(or should be) so it also depends on what fits the jitsuka and the what his sensei taught him.

I agree woth what protien said.My understanding is that the older arts taught a wide variety of skills including horse riding, archery, how to swim silently with armour on etc.

As fr hand to hand combat it was not so much seen as punch/kick/lock/grapple. more what is best to do in certain situations like strik/ clinch etc. It's hard to explian. But try to understand it as not being as standerdised.( some schools were taught like that at the basic training for soldiers)

BUt yeh thaey would use all the strikes they ciould think of, kicks punches elbows knees whatever.
