Difference between BJJ & Jap. Jujitsu

[dls2443]

Can someone give me an objective explanation as to the differences between BJJ and Jap. Jujitsu? A MT/MMA school I'm considering attending teaches Jap.Jujitsu classes. The instructor is not trying to pass it off as BJJ as he specifically refers to it as Jap JJ. Thanks.

You know, it really wouldn't kill ya to type five more letters...

japanese jujitsu is pretty far removed from bjj, since it actually came to brazil through the filter of judo. the ground skills that you will develop in jjj will be roughly equivalent to the stand up skills you would develop in bjj, i.e. nothin' to write home about. however, jjj is a great platform for bringing your striking and grappling into a cohesive whole.
i know that doesn't precisely address your question, but the names of the arts are misleading. they are so far removed that to looking at the differences between them won't really give you much insight into anything.

Yeah next time type out "japanese" or say jjj or something, or me and a lot of other people will eff you up.

I think they are calling you a borderline Bigot...

If you do a search with the thread tools you can find a zillion threads on the topic. It has been discussed over and over again. Try this forum and the Japanese forum also.

My apologies. My shortening of Japanese was in no way meant as a derogatory term. I was typing this in the middle of class and was just abbreviating without thinking. I should have proof read it. Thanks for catching me on it. And thanks for the responses thus far.

We always use JJJ(Japanese Jujitsu) Apology accepted.

BJJ is pure ground work and it is the best art at submissions. JJJ is more like a mixed art with ground and standup fighting but it is not the best in either.

I would pick one art from each of the three fighting styles.

BJJ (ground)
Muay Thai (Standup)
FMA (weapons)

I found this over the weekend on youtube. Check it out. "full contact jujitsu in poland" It's a good showing of JJJ but most of the throws are basic. Enjoy
