What do you mean by traditional JJ
Real classical JJ is very rare in the US most "jujitsu" schools are mostly people combining styles like Judo and karate and calling themselves jujitsu koryu jujutsu schools are hard to find. Some focus on combat efficence some on perserving the tradition. Some good jujutsu schools are the 3 lines of Yoshin Ryu Jujutsu, Takenouchi-ryu jujutsu and Yagyu Shingan-ryu taijutsu
Also These styles don't just have weapon disarms but how to use side arms (such as the wakizashi, small knives, shuriken, trunchun etc) in conjunction with grappling and striking techniques. IE. As you armbar him slitting his throat, or jabbing a knife in his ribs, using it as a handel and throwing him.
