Well I can't really tell you how much JJJ would help your BJJ because I haven't trained in BJJ. What I can tell you is that BJJ is the grandchild of Japanese Jujitsu. What I mean by that is that Judo was born out of Jujitsu, and BJJ was born out of Judo. The confusion in the name comes from the fact that Mitsuyo Maeda (the guy who taught the Gracie brothers) used the term "jujitsu" to mean "martial arts", but what he was really teaching them was Judo. I've said it before on this forum and I'll say it again: BJJ would be more accurately labelled Brazillian Judo.
