My work schedule has changed and it is impossible to get to jujitsu class any longer. I still can train in Judo 2 times a week since it fits my schedule. How can I still keep progressing in jujitsu with out training. I can do some mat work in Judo.
There has to be something I can do not to lose all my hard work I put into improving? Videos, Exercise, Visualization? Something

Yes it is quite obvious that actual training works best but sometime your profession has to come first. Maybe it is not an issue for alot of people but for me it is.

Judoka you bring up some good points. I don't want to quit Judo because it works really well with my schedule and I like it. I also like the jujitsu because I did that training no-gi. Also in jujitsu we rarely covered throws and judo is more time on throws.

just concentrate on becoming proficient in judo and leave the ju jutsu until it does fit your schedule.

Maybe you should just focus on being a better judoka. Judo is good enough for the Olympic games, so why does it have to be jujitsu's poor cousin in the US? Could it be that Americans just can't seem to cut it at international judo(except for Jimmy Pedro), so instead they go off to some private dojo and do some esoteric martial art and hope that some promoter will give them $500 to fight in a cage? I'm not knocking koryu or Brazilian jujutsu, it's just that I don't think judo should get short shrift just because it's not so fashionable these days.

Well concidering in Judo Ne waza is the same ground techniques that are in JuJitsu. Just ask your Judo Sensei to work on more Ne Waza. And if you are too concerned with your JuJitsu while training in Judo you can't focus on it enough to really learn Judo either. Why not then just quit Judo and have more days to train in JuJitsu.
Personaly I think it is a wase of time and money to train in both as you learn the same things in Judo you would in JuJitsu along with all the throws and take downs... But hey it's not my time and money.

To get very good it would take the adjustment of your entire lifestyle in combination with making martial arts one of your top priorities. If you can't do that, why don't you try bartending?

Actual training only works best.
