bjj or traditional Ju-jitsu

timetogetfit

What are the differences between both of these styles and I know there is a bjj club in cork, is there a ju-jitsu or aikido club in cork

SorGan

bjj is a sport, so there is none of the formality's of the more traditional jujitsu.
also bjj is a lot more on the ground that jujitsu.
bjj is trained properly:)...

judo as an alternative to jujitsu might be a good choice if you like the throws n stuff.
also trained properly:)

also trained properly

what do u mean

SorGan

trained against a fully resistant opponent, rather than (in my exp. of trad. jujitsu) going through the motions.
but hey, i cant speak for every trad. jujitsu club, but...:)

i suppose the best thing is to try both and see what suits you and what you like

filament

the proper training point is pretty vital

if someone trains movements against a passive opponent then their movements will be passive

ie. a waste of shaggin time

Earlier thread you mentioned height / weight , BJJ would be more suitable , lots more groundwork, and as stated more structured towards grappling, body movement etc ...

Each system has its merits! I have trained in traditional Jujitsu for 5 years. we have had various BJJ and MMA practioners visit our dojo and there is no doubt that there ground work is superb but do you want to have a fight on the ground in a self defense situation?
or
React, block the strike and counter and walk away.

Comparing sports to Martial Arts is not a fair comparision.

Find a teacher that is doing stuff that you want to do.

will you be given a choice?

the op asked the difference so a comparison was inevitable.
fair or not, rubbish training methods speak for themselves.

BJJ is a martial art, just like loads of other sport activities, thai boxing, tkd, judo etc.. the difference is there all trained against resisting opponents and tested in a sporting enviroment against someone who wants to beat you. better than training for fighting pre arranged moves.
