What is the difference between jujitsu and karate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

karate is like choping and stuff whereas judo is throwing

:)
Judo is mainly holds, throws and grappling, while karate is about kicking and hitting your opponent. Both are examples of martial arts.
While there are many differences, there are also a lot of similarities.

Both are martial arts taught in the Japanese/Okinawan tradition, with proper respect and discipline.

While Karate focuses mostly on striking, Judo is focused mostly on grappling. That does not mean they do it exclusively, as both have many similar techniques.

Judo was designed as a sport, based upon Jujuitsu.

The Facebook page for the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation seems to offer a quick rundown of the rules, however, this is a bit clogged by general status updates. The website known as Gracie Barra may offer more information.

Do ninjas take jujitsu?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, If ninja concentrate a lot. They can be able to open up their inner chakra and be able to use jutsu. Unfortified, it would take years just to be able to find their inner chakra that they wouldnt be able to learn how to control it so they can use jutsu.If you acutally believed in this stuff, you are a big loser.

How much punching pressure to knock someone out?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The fact is, that everyone has a different amount of pressure that will shut their lights off, generally speaking an average punch has about 650-800lbs ( Professionals swing at about 900 to 950lbs...kicks in the 1100-1400lbs range) of pressure distributed within the size of the individuals knuckles. 600LBS to anywhere in the skull will cause the brain to whip-lash inside the cavity causing swelling...which we know as a concussion. The body needs electrical signals from the brain...if communication gets cut off for a split second, our bodies exhaust all resources and shut down like an emergency kill switch in order not to keep sending failed signals from the brain. The jaw line and temples are especially vulnerable for knockouts. But keep in mind knock out factors: heart rate (tired individuals get knocked out more easily) Size (skull, body mass index, Fat content etc.) No human on earth sails above these laws of science...i hope my answer was informative.

False. It's a Martial Art. Some forms such as Brazilian Ju Jitsu also have a sport application, but nothing like football at all. Whether you spell it Football, or Futbol there is no similarity.

Where can you learn combat jujitsu?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Internet dojos etc. etc. isn't recommended. It's RECOMMENDED that you have a friend willing to learn and spar with you if you choose this course of learning. If you are serious about learning Martial Arts on the internet (for free), don't just Google guides, get videos, etc. etc. although there are many great video lessons out there, try using Google to find useful Jeet Kune Do videos. If you are a beginner you can start by going to www.boxing4free.com, it's an online boxing gym that offers free boxing lessons on basic punches, footwork and defense. I've sparred with Justin Salvato (head coach of Boxing 4 Free) in person, and he is extremely talented. If you want to learn something quick, start with Boxing 4 Free and read the Tao of Jeet Kune Do by Bruce Lee. It's much more simple to start small and build on from there, focusing more on the honing of body than the learning of movement, like Tai Chi, almost. If you want to learn to fight well, try CloQuba Ha-Jutsu. This is the offensive version of Krav Maga. I would say it is offensive, and that is a rare thing in the martial arts world.

Is jujitsu a good martial art?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In my opinion, yes, jujitsu is very helpful when it comes to grapples, wrist locks and what not. It hardly requires any strength whatsoever because most of the attacks involve using the opponent's strength against themselves. Another good thing about jujitsu is the wrist locks, even the biggest of people have pressure points, apply these correctly and you have control of the fight. In jujitsu they not only teach you how to master pressure points but how to get out of them.

Is jujitsu defensive or offensive?

Asked by Wiki User

Jiu-Jitsu is ordinary mainly defensive but has both offensive and defensive strategies. At its center, Jiu-Jitsu is ready smart, and no longer brawn, that's why it’s perfect for smaller and weaker practitioners.

Is there a website that gives you free info on how to do Jujitsu moves?

User Avatar

Asked by Gandalf

Please be aware that by their very nature, martial arts are taught in person. It can be difficult to find techniques on the web as most instructors understand the danger of trying to pass on knowledge without knowing who has it and how it is to be used. There are many aspects of a move or technique that simply cannot be communicated in words or pictures.

ANSWER its true that training with an instructor is the best way to learn martial arts but not all of us can afford it or have access to a good instructor - my wife is from the Philippines and there her whole family learns martial arts by just doing them and watching - and they are really good - you do need passion and somebody to "copy" - a really great source of free info to get ideas and examples of techniques of any martial art is you-tube - just do a search for whatever style or technique you want, wade through the junk to find the real gems of instruction that are available and then practice - my whole family is learning bo staff and escrima this way and i think we are getting pretty good without an instructor

but do keep in mind martial arts is dangerous even in practice and without an instructor you need to be careful - even being careful me and my wife and kids are constantly covered with bruises and sore fingers from accidents - fortunately no broken fingers yet.

Try as you may, without personalized instruction, you will miss a large part of what the martial arts has to offer, friendship, learning, patience and the mind set necessary to apply the techniques to real life experiences.

Yes, YouTube.

Who is the richest jiujitsu fighter in the world?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

My pick would be Renzo Gracie black belt Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. His net worth is conservatively around the $20 billion mark. He is the sponsor of the Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu Jitsu Championships. His younger brother Tahnoon - the first UAE black belt (also under Renzo) is worth around the same and sponsors the famous Abu Dhabi Combat Club no-gi championships. He also owns 10% of the UFC through his Flash Entertainment.
