 |

hey, this is probably really dumb, but close-in combat is not my forte, so i dont know much about it, and i had always thought that judo and jujuitsu was the same thing, could someone give me a run down on the differences?
Thanks a bunch!

| Jujitsu has less rules. Judo is a sport more then anything. Striking is only for self-defense and to speed up footwork and handwork, and increase flexibility in Judo. But Strikes are legal in Jujitsu tournaments. Judo is basically a grappling art made mainly as a sport. Jujitsu is more complete, with strikes and grappling. Judo also came from Jujitsu, the founder of Judo was a Jujitsu man. |

There's no need to speak of it in basics when we can speak of it in specifics.
Many decades ago there was a man named Kano. Kano was, among other things, a Jujitsu practitioner; and he was involved in the Japanese educational system. Kano wanted a PE that children could do, so he took Jujitsu, removed a chunk of the material which made it more dangerous to practice, added a belt system, and called it Judo.
Practically, Judo is more focused on wrestling than Jujitsu... If you have a basic idea of the differences between Judo and Akido, you'll find Jujitsu feels Judo with a bunch of the Akido stuff added.

Jerry is correct about the founder wanting something for PE but there were other reasons aswell. |

lol, why not? He is asking for a basic run down. He will get a detailed history when he signs up for the class. |
