Jujitsu Judo Difference

is there a diffrance between gracie jujitsu and judo ground fighting?

Hi I am wondering if any one out there can tell me about the difference between gracie/Brazilian Jujitsu, And Judo Ground fighting. There is a judo school near by and the turion is less than at the Gracie/Brazilian jujitsu? Before I go pay top dollar for it

I’m going to disagree with a lot of people here. There are many minor differences on both styles.

When I go to Judo class as a primarily BJJ student I find that many of the skilled BJJ move much more fluid. When I get a top Judo guy in my guard I am working for a straight arm bar and then I am going to work for a triangle choke if he moves in to defend it.

I am not knocking Judo. Judo is more emphasis on take downs and BJJ is more emphasis on ground game. If you take both you are going to have a better overall game as result. Judokans just will prefer to take the guy down and pin him down this will result in an Ippon in which the Judoka is really aiming for.

I grapple with a friend of mine in my Judo school and he’s a brown belt. He will throw me around very easily but once he gets me to the ground it is very difficult to actually pin me because will be shooting for guard recovery or something where I gain control on the ground.

BJJ came from Judo and they both have many similarities. The triangle choke is in Judo, the arm bar is there, check this out: search for these moves in Judo and tell me if they look familiar

They will have many similarities but like I said BJJ guys work a lot on the ground while Judo guys work a lot on their throws. The main difference is that initially in sport Judo you can’t take a guy down by a leg take down such as the fireman’s carry (Yoko Kata Guruma) or the double leg take down (Morote Gari) but you can do this in BJJ tournaments.

In Judo it is illegal to pull of leg locks and while I am sure there are more serious Judokans who will learn them they may not use them as much since it is illegal in a Judo tournament but I’m sure they have it handy to escape it in case some idiot walks into a Judo school and thinks he’s an MMA god and tries to hunt for it. In BJJ you will find those leg locks so the chances of being caught in a leg lock or attempting to escape it is much more noticeable in BJJ.
