I do shotokan karate and am looking for a simler type of MA but with throw and such. I heard Jiu-Jitsu was the best type. What is your opinion?  |

I study Goju-ryu karate and have just started JJ to compliment it. Since Goju is a close fighting style (although not strictly) the JJ works extremely well with it.
Are you intending to give up Shotokan in favour of the other art?

Just be careful, there are a lot of schools of Jujitsu out there, and it is starting to become like Judo, Karate and TKD before it. There are a lot of bad instructors, and a lot of very good instructors.

Funakoshi got a lot of his Shotokan ideas from Judo so maybe that would be a good place to look into.

I was using the example of the schools being a dime a dozen, with the quality of instruction dropping. Of course there are good and bad instructors regardless, however the number of bad increases as belts are dished out without regard for technique.

There are two types of jujutsu - modern and classical. They are often very, very different (most modern styles don't even derive from classical styles, many of them are just mixtures of judo/karate). And technically, as well as philosophically the two are very different. The classical styles are known as "koryu jujutsu" or "koryu bujutsu" and the modern styles are known as "gendai jujutsu". When you evaluate your jujutsu options, you need to find out to which category the school belongs to so you can evaluate it appropriately. Great info on koryu stuff can be found in the articles of http://www.koryu.com/
the gendai arts usually have their own pages each school. There is no one site about all modern jujutsu styles that I know of. |

Classical Jiu Jitsu and Shotokan are a good mix! I agree that some modern JJ schools are lacking in technique and have lost sight of the ideals of Budo that the art was founded upon-it's too bad but "old Skool" is still around if you look hard enough!

| Hey Telsun, I thought that I was the only one who did Goju-Ryu karate. I am glad to see that someone else does the same style. My sensei teaches jujitsu to help compliment Goju-Ryu and it makes a difference. |

I am not the only one Kev, they pop up here and there, infact there are actually quite a few.
Jujitsu ties in lovely with Goju you are lucky that your instructor teaches JJ as well as Goju. Where are you?
