Traditional Jujitsu?

My friend who has been doing it for years talked me into giving it a go. So I did.

As someone who has dabbled in various martial arts over the years, I have concerns about juJitsus effectiveness in live situations.

6 months of doing boxing training and actual sparing would be far more effective.

Judo is a form of traditional Jiu-jitsu and it's very effective. So is BJJ. Stand up fighting is important, but of it does go to the ground, you need to know how to fall, get out of locks, break limbs, etc.

@basilfawlty89 BJJ isnt a form of traditional Jujitsu. It is a derivative of traditional jujitsu though.

Most traditional JJ suck at ground fighting.

Judo is excellent.

@TheDeathOfOzymandiaz true, I meant BJJ bis effective like Judo, sorry I phrased that like my arse. BJJ is partially descended from Judo, so it makes sense.
