They are all variations of Jujutsu, which is a broad term for literally hundreds of different japanese fighting styles. They are mainly of the wrestling/weapon defense sort but brazilian jujitsu is squarely focused on ground-fighting techniques that are safe for athletic competition.
dude Brazilian jiu jitsu/ Gracie jiu jistu is the better one by a 100% theres this blackbelt in japanese jiu jitsu in my bjj class and he says it himself bjj beats japanese jiu jitsu anyday.
Bryan b has no idea what he is talking about both forms of jiu jitsu are great they each have there strengths and weaknesses just like any other martial art
BJJ/GJJ are the same. The difference between Japanese
Jujitsu and GJJ is that GJJ is practical self defense. Japanese Jujitsu looks great for tv but if you want to learn
how to defend yourself then dont waste your time on Jap.
Jujitsu also the first two answers are obviously biased and
have never fought a person with bjj/gjj experience.
Take an avg blue belt in BJJ and he will destroy most
blackbelts of Japanese Jujitsu!
Japanese jiu-jitsu is alot like judo. It includes throws, standing and ground grappling.
Brazilian ju-jitsu is the same thing as Gracie jiu-jitsu. Helio Gracie ( the founder of Gracie/Brazilian jiu-jitsu) modified judo and traditional jiu-jitsu, it emphasizes on ground grappling.
Yeah, if you think BJJ doesnt have techniques that would do some serious harm to the opponenet you are kidding yourself, naturaly in competition you practice control, but it would be quite easy to snap an arm or even break someones neck if you do the move correctly and use your body leverage
To say that BJJ is not for street defence is ridiculous as it is developed in quite a dangerous area, Brazil is known for its crime and many people use BJJ for self defence and competition is simply a way to test and develop your reflexes and technique and handle stress in an aliveness situation
The major difference between BJJ and Japanese style is that Japanese style has alot of stand up techniques while BJJ is all about taking your opponent to the ground and once he is down you destroy him
Instead of arguing and trying to disprove BJJ effeciveness every martial artist should be thankfull that the gracie family have developed such an amazing system and have shared it with the world, i cant say which is better, I just know BJJ is fucking amazing!
As the person above me stated. Brazilian and Gracie are mostly for sport. The end result is to have the opponent either tap out, or in laymans terms: submit.
I have practiced Katabami Ju-jitsu (which is a traditional art) and it is safe to say that there are techniques that can seriously harm and in some instances kill the opponent. Quick, close combat thrashes that can make the other guy squeel like a girl. Very dangerous and should not be used unless your life is in danger.
Brazilian/Gracie is mostly for sport. Notice thats what is used most in the ring. It focuses on submission holds and ground fighting.
True Japanese combat jujitsu deals with not only the art of weaponless fighting (ground fighting and standing), but also fighting with traditional and modern hand 2 hand weapons. Some schools that teach older styles also have a religion incorporated into it.
It is stricly forbidden in sporting events because the nature of it is to kill your opponent.
