I told the Grandmaster Saturday that I was having trouble explaining the Difference between JJJ and Judo. He says judo is a Martial Sport and Japanese Jujitsu is a Martial Art.

I have been told and told others the difference many times.

Judo is the gentle way to learn Jujutsu techniques. Judo is for fun (a sport) and Jujutsu is for killing and maiming...

One you can do with your friends the other you do not.

Thanks I'll have to remember that one.

I believe that there are more indepth differences between the two other than just the point of practice.

A Jutsu or Bugei (Hope that's the right term) is generally considered a combative method and is often taught for the strict purpose of fighting and killing one's opponent.

A "Do" on the other hand fucuses more on the development of the student as an individual and stresses specific values and conduct both in and out of the dojo. Sports competition is often closely associated with this method as it can give the student experience though victory and teach the student humility through defeat.

I don't see much of a difference between the practices of these variants these days... especially between karate-do and karate-jutsu, but it's interesting.

The Grandmaster has spoken.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong; but I don't see any wristlocks in the two best known judo texts. 1) Best Judo 2) Kodokan Judo. Also, jujitsu has more japanese Karate embedded into it.

You are essentially correct, small joint manipulation is not found in Judo. And, while you do not practice Atemi on your training partners, the (Judo) Kata or "exercises" contain all manner of striking...

Thanks, your post reminds me of finger locks, ankle locks and knee bars.

Between the two, jujitsu is better. The Army used to use it back in WWI. Works great and I'd love to learn it, but there's no places around here that teach it.

lol... Bayonets were king there.

But I thought it was interesting that they used jujitsu that far back... before martial arts had really caught on in America.

I have seen early Judo images that clearly show ankle and wrist locks... It's in there. Like kicking and punching, it's just hard to find Judo doing it these days...
