What is more popular jujitsu or judo?

Question

Which do you think is more powerful?

Answer 1

Jui Jitsu! Judo is mainly takedowns and stuff. What do you think would do better throwing someone on the ground or choking someone until they die or fall asleep, or even breaking there arm or leg or anything else

Answer 2

In the early 1960's Judo was more popular in the U.S.A. it was almost 1/3 of all martial arts here then.  Today jujitsu seems to be more popular.  Judo was created by Dr. Kano who was a student of jujitsu. His goal in creating it was to create an arts for competition. It is much like jujitsu except some of the more dangerous techniques of jujitsu were not included.  However, you must understand that many judoka practice techniques that are not allowed in judo competition. So as to which one is more powerful, that varies depending on the person and his training.

Answer 3

jujitsu because most of the moves are deadly

Answer 4

Well i find judo to be more widespread internationally. Pretty much any country that you go to has any number of judo dojos. I started judo in Zimbabwe and there were two judo dojos there. There was no one with a jujitsu background when i was there.

I'm in Aus now, and our dojo sometimes would get visitors from other countries wanting to challenge our dojo and learn from each other. The judo community is therefore an international one, with good relations crossing borders. In my dojo there are also some who started with a brazillian jujitsu background training judo with us.

Judo is also an Olympic sport, and viewed by millions of people during this period. The judo community is also a very active one, there is always some form of competition throughout the year ranging from the club level to an international level.

When it comes to power, judo has certain advantages to jujitsu, and vice versa. Rules in both sports differ, as well as the objective of the fighters (in judo an ippon achieved through a really good throw, would signal the end of the match, while jujitsu requires a submission). Jujitsu is definitely deadlier when it comes to groundwork, but judo has the advantage when it comes to take-downs.

There is also a going trend of more jujitsu moves being incorporated in judo. In the foreseeable future we could actually see a merger between the two sports, becoming one sport. Remember, judo originated from traditional jujitsu. So comparing judo to jujitsu in the future may seem pointless.
