Ok. Thats Jiu-Jitsu and not ju jitsu. And yes, Jiu-Jitsu is the best ground martial art.

IMOP - Depends on your body style, since your in TKD I would say your body is good and flexible and can take punishment. So I would recommend a good BJJ school, if you can't take as much punishment then go judo. Not taking away from Judo at all, it is a great art, one of which is the background in which JJ was derived from. I cross train Kenpo, BJJ, and Muay Thai, all 3 blend great for my body style and physical fitness level. Be honest with yourself and that will help you make a decision, also talk with your sensai and get his honest opinion. Cross training makes a strong warrior. Good luck

The best martial art form to learn for ground defense and attack are 1 of three: 1) Pancrasian wrestling.
2) Catch Wrestling
3) Greco Roman Wrestling
An old friend of mine fights in MMA tournaments out in the states, he is unbeaten so far. He practises catch wrestling for his ground game .He has obliterated all the Jui Jitsu guys he has come across! All 3 wrestling styles above are very very aggresive and potentially very nasty. U.F.C hall of famer Randy Couture practised Greco Roman Wrestling, his record speaks for itself. I have done catch wrestling myself, it has also saved my **** on more than 1 occasion! If you are interested in learning catch wrestling then Google "Alan Orr" The guy is a wrestling genius. Good luck my friend !!!!!!!!!!!!!

my suggestion is try judo first as its not so painful as ju-jitsu. and get used to the hard contact [ you and the floor] then gradualy ease into ju-jitsu when you think your ready. that is not the end of the road though,you need good hand skills to destroy an incoming attack , so think of Systema or Wing Chun as well , in your own time of course,itall takes time.

not necessarily juijitsu no
it all depends on how much time your going to be devoting to the given martial art....and the amount of skill in it....look into different teachers and what people have to say aabout them
juifitsu IS NOT the end all martial art

What about hap-kido, as it's also a Korean martial art?
They do ground-work etc. as well.

l hear sambo is on the rise, ju jitsu is also good, but i think thats mainly beacuse of ufc. Judo, is some what like ju jitsu,and from wat i have seen they are usually combined. So i could not tell you what is better, go and see for your self. and just so you know, gracie ju jitsu is still ju jitsu and has its weakneses, all ju jitsu have death locks.
