Japanese Martial ArtsDiscuss Japanese style Martial Arts here - Aikido, Iaido, Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Karate, Kenpo, Kendo, Kyudo, Kyudo, Ninjitsu, Sumo
Well , actually it is Jujutsu and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I don't think it's necessary to call it "Japanese Ju-jutsu". Jujutsu is already a Japanese thing. It would be like saying "Japanese Karate"
So, I definitely agree with you.
I think it's almost gotten to the point where if you say Jujutsu/ Jiu-Jutsu/ Jiu-Jitsu it's like saying just wrestling, you need to specify the type Greco-Roman, Freestyle, or Olympic. In the early UFCs they mentioned only Jiu-jutsu for a BJJ fighter, not sure about now though.
And is there a difference between Okinawan and Japanese Karate? Or is that through the styles (Kyokushin/ Wado Ryu etc.)?

I know that the Okinawan Karate is more intense(or that's what heard) and they do longer training sessions.(in Okinawa of course. I don't think the training of Okinawan Karate outside of Okinawa is like that. )
And I think that calling BJJ just "jiu-jitsu" is wrong, cause people don't notice a difference between saying jujutsu and jiujitsu, and they think that the ground fighting they see is jujutsu.I actually think that jujutsu is the most "optimal" fighting art, so I don't like seeing it being mispresented.

Hmm I get what you mean, I don't really like Judo being followed by 'jutsu' even though it does derive from it (No offence. ). But I guess that's why it needs to be known as Jujutsu, in the perfect world, the differences in names would be emphasized.

See, the term is a Japanese one, so making a distinction by adding another name, particularly to a Japanese name, seems to relate it to a Japanese art.
It is like saying "American Karate"
As for the wrestling, the English word doesnt dictate in a direct sense, a country like the word Jiu Jitsu, which is clearly a Japanese term with a Japanese translation.

Kinda like this guy here in Florida? Spivey Karate This guy...I tell you...He REALLY pisses me off. He promoted HIMSELF to his rank. I've been to his school, and what they teach is a watered down form of Chito Ryu, but he calls it "American Open Style Karate".
Well from my understanding jujitsu has several different variations and names but most incompise all ranges of combat. Aikido is more so a stand-up art. I don't think there is much comparision unless you go into individual styles and systems.

Yeah, but this has been going on for decades in my lifetime....nothing new but the faces and the names on the same scams
