Martial Arts?
Man people need to quit spouting BS from the "Human Weapon" show...





Both involve grappling.





Judo is more focused on the grappling aspect then Jujitsu.(classical Japanese Jujitsu I am speaking about)





Jujitsu is focused on weapons, striking, movements done while wearing armor, and utlizing swords. It has throws, joint locks and chokes in it, but are generally not sparred or spent a great time emphasizing. Kind of an all around Martial Art, a little bit of everything.





Judo is grappling pure and simple, from standing up, closing the distance, clinching, throwing, controlling on the mat, pins, joint locks, chokes, the works. Judo encompasses all areas of grappling. More specialized, focused only on grappling aspect.








Now Brazilian Jiujitsu- (which many people lately seem to just call Jujitsu which is wrong) is focused mainly on the mat, or ground. They are more specialized then Judo, as they don't spend a whole lot of training on the stand up portion of grappling. They work primarily on the ground, therefore are very, very good in a matwork situation. Very specialized, work primarily on the ground aspect of grappling.





Hope that helps you out, any of those arts are great to check out.





(above poster, learn history before spouting off something from a TV show notorious for fudging up historical facts to make it seem more dramatic, you are even messing it up more)





Admiral Perry's defeat of the Japanese only showed the antiquated ways of the Samurai, it was years later that there was a decree the removed them from a higher state of class, and they were not allowed to wear their swords in public. They still trained in Jujitsu, Iado, horsemanship, archery and the like, they weren't in hiding, they just were not allowed to wear swords in public, be the only armed force of the Japanse, and execute commoners for disrespecting them.





Judo originated from a Jujitsu practioner Jigaro Kano (whose father was no where related to Samurai, and he himself had no ties to former Samuraiship) who took it the art to a new level, incorporate new techniques and focused only on the grappling work, and changed throws so that they were not done with armor in mind, and added more principles of leverage. Judo continues to evolve.





BJJ originated from Judo, as Mitsuyo Maeda (a Kodokan, Kosen Judo style Judoka) taught Carlos Gracie (who in turn taught it to Helio and so on.





Just a little bit of history for ya...





Good luck!
Reply:Jujitsu, for the most part definately involves grappling...though there may be some types of judo that involve grappling. If not any other arts.
Reply:both, along with akido, and karate, kung fu, etc. all hand to hand martial arts with few exceptions involve grappling, as well as contact blows.
Reply:jujitsu is the martial art that involves primarily grappling and throwing.
Reply:both, but judo is more of a take-down/throwing and jiu jitsu is more of on the floor grappling.still though, judo has ground fighting and jiu jitsu got its take-downs
Reply:Both, judo was taken from jujitsu.
Reply:Both,Jujitsu was developed after the defeat of the Japanese to Admiral Perry.The Masters hid and devised Jujitsu instead of the traditional Judo.
