jujitsu

I the regular jujitsu just as good as brazilian jujitsu? All they have in my area is jujitsu not brazilian.

I'm feeling a bit lazy to retell the history of BJJ, but the short answer is no, if you're talking about as good a system for ground-fighting.

Have you tried finding a Judo club? If you want to learn ground-fighting, Judo ne-waza is more suitable than most ryu of traditional jujutsu.

I'm not going to say which is "better" it certainly depends on what they are teaching you. If you are only learning how to punch air and spin a bo staff then I don't think that unpractical shit will help you, however traditional JJ includes shit you'll never learn in BJJ, stuff that isn't sportive at all and you will never see it in a ring. Check it out, it may be a legit place to learn self-defence, though usually that isn't quite as fun as the all-in sportive BJJ, in my oppinion.

Also, yeah, check for some Judo in your area. I don't like the gi that much myself, but newaza is a great base for submissions and Judo takedowns are highly regarded in martial art.

Make sure tostop by and check out the place. Are they teaching Japanese JuJitsu? Nowadays the sport has evolved quite a bit. American Jiu Jitsu is on the rise. What we have done is taken Brazilian Jiu Jtisu to the next level. Added components of no gi sub wrestling and taken what works best (highest percentage) and elaborated on it. Look at people like Eddie Bravo, Marc Laimon and Raphael Lovato Jr., all of who have beaten Gracies in competition. American Jiu Jitsu is the way to go

With the way lawsuits are these days, I'd rather not comment on how you should make your decision. Instead, here is my personal observation.

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu - Combines realistic approach with live training. Includes the most extensive ground game, some takedowns, clinch with minimal striking. In the long-run, you form your own conclusions as to what works for you.

Japanese Jujitsu - Traditional and hypothetical approach to fighting. Training involves pre-arranged fighting scenarios, kicks, punches, joint locks, with limited ground work. Lacks live sparring in many instances.

Judo - Combines traditional training with live training, in some instances. Some gyms have no ground grappling, while others stress it more, but not at the level of BJJ. I don't like the forms, but love the throws (although after a few days, you feel like shiet).
