Ju jitsu competitions

Hello people,

Im going to be going to my first Ju Jitsu class at Brunel univeristy this tuesday. This will be first experience in a martial arts that contains grappling. I wanted to know if Ju Jitsu competitions also allow strickes (punching and kicking) or is it same as Judo.

Thanks

 

and you don't know what the rules are yet?

 

It stands to reason that he won't know the rules if he's going to his first class
Competition rules depend a lot on the style. BJJ comp rules don't generally allow striking, some JJJ comps have separate randori, striking and grappling divisions etc. Is it JJJ or BJJ you'll be doing? BJJ tends to have a lot more competitions than JJJ

 

Thanks sever for the info, im actually just going to be doing Ju Jitsu so I hope competitions do allow strikes All I know the club is linked with http://www.jitsufoundation.org and that the uni club will be competing at the atemi nationals which I am also new to, and cant seem to find the rules for that anywhere

Thanks, mani

 

That pretty much sums up what we've been told by our instructor and by Eric Lau (who was here at the weekend)

mani - if you are going to the nationals, give me a yell as I'm heading there too

 

There you go then! Mini MAP meet after a full sized MAP meet!

See you there mara

 

Thanks guys for the input abobut this atemi thing, yea it sounds cool but not what I expected and if I do go I will give you guys a shout. Other than this is there any other competitions that universities normally enter?

 

The TJF website mentions the Randori Nationals in March link.
