Differences between Jiu-Jitsu and Judo

[YeahBee]

Basically, jiu jitsu has more of a focus on submissions and judo has more of a focus on throws. Brazilian jiu jitsu in particular places a greater emphasis on leverage rather than strength as it was modified by Helio Gracie, a small, slightly built man.

The theory behind both arts are the same. and good application of judo isn't strength. Off balancing/leverage/Using the opponenets strenght momentum against them. don't down play the technical aspect of judo

now if you had said wrestling I could see your point, wrestling is technical but it has got a certain aspect of overpowering your opponenet, much more head on then judo/BJJ



the basic locks and chokes are from judo ffs. they work the same

Saying that judo is about strenght more then BJJ is like saying that BJJ is just more about agility then Judo

a logical fallacy that simply isn't true

From what I've read, Kano was also a small, slightly built man.

In his youth before studying jujutsu but not later. He was particularly proud pf his calves and would show them off.

Good man. So many people don't realize that BJJ is based on pre-world-war-2 Judo.

I wish Judo rules would just go back to how they were back then.

^^ no doubt.

old rules for the win.

YB what do you know about freestyle judo? Is there guard play in it?

 

[CroSSGunS]

I've used my guard in competition Judo quite well before, you just guard instead of turtling after you land, and then use that to set up subs.
