wat would you recomend japanese jujutsu or brazilian jujutsu?

Question

like for street fights and standing up, being attacked while sitting down, on the ground, etc etc

Answer 1

Japanese Jujitsu involves more striking and throwing before you get down to the ground for submission. In Japanese Jujitsu, submissions or ground work are supposed to be used to end a fight in a second. For example, you throw the opponent, and then roll with them and then get right into arm bars or other submissions.
But BJJ on the other hand took all the striking and throwing away and concentrated more on ground works. Whenever you take the opponent down, they only have tackles but JJ has more techniques with taking opponents down.

Answer 2

Japanese Jujutsu, especially the self-defense-oriented form Goshin Jujitsu, is unparalleled for street situations. It combines Muay Thai's striking with Jujutsu's grappling and adds modern weapon defense. And while BJJ is better for cage fighting, going to the ground in a street fight is just stupid, even if you're an expert grappler. And remember, BJJ lacks both striking and standup grappling, meaning you have to take the fight to the ground.

Think about it.

Answer 3

For your intentions of using a grappling art for self defense situations I would say absolutely Japanese jujutsu. There is more focus on sport with bjj.
That being said, you also absolutely should learn some form of striking art to defend your family, friends, and yourself effectively. Whether it be western boxing, Muay Thai, karate, etc.
In a self defense situation grappling should be your LAST choice. Because there are no rules or refs in a street situation. When you grapple your opponent can bite, scratch, eye gouge, strike your groin, pull your hair, fish hook, strike your spine, etc. So when you do have to grapple you should be looking to quickly eliminate your attacker as a threat or immediately disengage and move back to striking.

NOTE: before someone answers with the BS "95% of fights end up on the ground" response, you should check this out.

The 95% is a (purposeful?) misquote. If you don't go to the link above here's a direct quote from the LAPD report for 1988: "95% of the time those fights took one of five patterns, and 62% of those five types of altercations ended up with the officer and subject on the ground with the officer" And this is for police who are professionally responsible to attempt to restrain and arrest individuals.

Answer 4

Japanese no question. The style depends on the school you go to but most incorporate grappling, throwing, striking, ground fighting, and "dirty fighting tricks."

BJJ is an extremely watered down version of jujutsu that is weak in the area of throws and take downs, it's only skill is on the ground. Even Judo is better than BJJ IMO.

Answer 5

wow you're all dumb
first the people who claim that Japanese jujitsu is better because it has more techniques... yes it does have more techniques but THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING, if you have 1 technique which you practice 100 times that is infinitely better than 100 techniques you practice once, Keep It Simple Stupid. also BJJ practices in a hard realistic manner JJJ doesn't so a BJJer will be much better able to perform those techniques under pressure than a JJJ person. want proof lets look at history:
in the early 20th century the Kodokan (the original Judo school) took some techniques from several JJJ schools(very few at first it was ten then it was later expanded to 40) and combined them along with Randori(hard practicing) into judo. The Kodokan then challenged(without rules) all the JuJitsu schools in Japan and beat every single freaking one of them, the JJJ schools rarely won a single match. Until it was challenged by the Fusen Ryu school of Ju Jitsu, which focused on ground fighting(and also did hard/live practicing), the Fusen Ryu beat the Kodokan, and the Kodokan adopted the techniques and strategies of the Fusen Ryu, which eventually was entirely absorbed by the Kodokan. One Judoka who was particularly influenced by the Fusen Ryu was Mitsuo Meada, who while traveling around the world taught a young man named Carlos Gracie, and that was the beginning of BJJ(which is now the closest style to the Fusen Ryu style in existance). So lets look at this again JJJ Also there is the element of strategy, there is little to no strategy in JJJ its more like 'if you happen to find yourself in this exact situation you can do this' while bjj actually has a strategy which tells its practitioners what they should be doing at all times during a fight.
So BJJ infinitely better than JJJ

Answer 6

BJJ is SOOOOOOOO much better than japanese jujutsu, i may be biased but BJJ is extremely effective against larger opponents, especially if they don't know what they're doing on the ground, BJJ! DO IT!

Answer 7

The quality and frequency of your training will far outweigh your style. Find a good school, not a good style.

Also, you shouldn't street fight. You are allowed to walk away.
If you are confident in your abilities then you don't need to test them in a street fight. This stuff was invented for self-defense and combat, not wasteful challenges of ego.

Answer 8

I would jo with the Japanese JuJutsu

Answer 9

I would recommend Japanese jujitsu. It's got more to offer.

Answer 10

Japanese has soooo much more to it, on top of what bjj has.

Don't jump on the band wagon.
