Ju Jitsu Clubs

petals

Why is it so impossible to find a Ju jitsu club which is within commuting distance of maynooth. (besides the one already in maynooth)
I heard of some club in celbridge anyone know what type of martial art it is?
Or anyone know beginners times for ju jitsu classes anywhere that I'd be able to commute to from maynooth.

Here's a boring little spelling lesson

Taken from here http://www.oejjb.or.at/jujutsue.htm

When discussing the "correct" spelling of the name " jiu jitsu", one has to take into account that the only one undisputed form is to use the Sino-Japanese characters. The Japanese script consists of three groups: Sino-Japanese ideograms, kanji, which represent either a full word or part of a compound. The two kanji for J(i)u Jitsu (Jutsu) are depicted on the left side in the picture above. Kana (Katakana and Hiragana) were created much later to represent phonetic syllables, much like Roman letters. However, the main constituents of the Japanese script are Kanji.

Most of these characters have more than one pronounciation, the Sino-Japanese On- and the Japanese Kun-pronounciation. In accordance with the meaning, or nuance of meaning a Kanji can have more than one On- and Kun- readings. In the picture above, the On-reading(s) are depicted in capitals, the Kun-reading(s) with small letters.

There are different transcription systems of Japanese words into Roman letters. The three most prominent ones are Nipponshiki, Kunreishiki and Hebonshiki (Hepburn-system). In principle they are the Japanese sounds, written down in their romanized forms. Under these circumstances, the transcription of a word from Japanese standard language may lead to results different from regional dialect or similar variations. (Samurai had a specific style of speaking).

The Nipponshiki was presented by TANAKADATE Aikitsu 1881.
The Hepburn-System ("Hebonshiki") was named after the American missionary James Curtis HEPBURN who used this method for the third edition of his Japanese-English Dictionary in 1886. Today, it is the most widely used transcription in the Western world.
The Kunreishiki (more related to the Nipponshiki) was first established for official duties in 1937 by a resolution of the Japanese government, and once again recommended in 1954, but its use was not made mandatory.
Even various official agencies and departments of the Japanese government use different transcriptions simultaneously. As there is not only one "acknowledged", "official" transcription, it would be inappropriate to acknowledge only one version, and to declare every other method wrong. Moreover, in some countries the spelling chosen can indicate membership of a certain style or organization.
The "Oesterreichischer Jiu Jitsu Bund (OEJJB)" chose the version "Jiu Jitsu" according to a tradition that has been existing in Austria since the 1920s, without excluding other spellings. For the translation of the name of our organization into English, we use "Ju Jitsu" (Austrian Ju Jitsu Federation), which is common in English-speaking countries. The name of our organization in Japanese Kanji, stands (using the Hepburn-system and Japanese standard language) for the spelling "Ju Jutsu" (Oosutoria Ju Jutsu Ren Mei).

The pronounciation is jyoo jeets(oo) (JIU JITSU), joo jeets(oo) (JU JITSU) or joo joots(oo) (JU JUTSU). The "u" at the end of J(I)U is a long vowel, the "u" at the end of JITSU (JUTSU) is pronounced lightly, or omitted altogether.

Although these guys seem to have forgotten the spelling with a heavy Brazilian accent of "Zhoo Zhitsu"

speaking of spellings and pronuciations, what;s the story with hoyce gracie. should it also he huhnaldo and huhildinho. i reckon that helio nutter just made up all those names (i think he actually did) and invented a new pronunciation. he likes making stuff.
