Well honestly its a bit tough to compare these arts as a huge probability of personal Bias might just creep in.
I prefer Jiu Jitsu cause I have practiced that but I ever so often see guys from Judo that are just as brilliant
Its like asking which is better butterscotch or chocolate
The answer will be different in each individual case (Chocolate please)
Do one thing
do a demo class in both the dojo and see where you are enjoying yourself more
where you have a better rapport with the instructors and choose wisely from there :)
styles are made to adapt to your body type
There is no best style.
They will all work as long as you train right and have a good instructor.
Your size, body type and sex have nothing to do with the style you want to choose. People that think that your size and body type determine the style know little to nothing about martial arts
Most people will tell you there style is the best or they heard such and such is a great style,
The style is not important, what matters is how good your instructor is and how you train. The style is secondary, they all have there pro's and con's there are no superior styles.
If you have an instructor that can’t teach you how to fight, regardless of the style, what good would it do you?
Choose a school with a good instructor in the end that’s all that matters, that and how you train.
Its the person that has the ability to fight not the style
Judo emphasizes on take downs and dominant position. It includes submissions but are not as heavily used compared to it's counterpart, Ju jitsu.
There are two-three variants of Jiu Jitsu:
Japanese Jiu Jutsu: incorporates strikes, throws, joint locks, chokes, and pressure points. Pretty useful for self-defense.
Brazillian Jiu Jitsu: Ground based, focuses primarily on both transitions(how to move around your opponent) and submissions
Aiki-jūjutsu: combines techniques from Hapkido, AIkido, and Hakkō-ryū( a form of traditional Ju Jitsu).
Any of these disciplines can be effective, if you know how to apply correct technique and have a strong mentality.
Don't listen to Joe. When I was a BJJ blue belt I cross trained in Judo and on my 2nd class I tapped out 3 Brown Belts and almost a Black Belt. Yes, they could throw me, but Judo ground fighting is no where near the level of BJJ ground fighting. Even at that time, I was a new Blue Belt and the worst Blue Belt at my academy (or at least one of them). That's not to say Judo isn't a good art though. It's great. White belts could throw me before I actually learned good Judo. I would say BJJ is the better of the 2 for self-defense, but it all honesty both of them are great arts for self-defense. No matter which one you choose, you'll be a good fighter. If you DO have time, I would suggest doing both. Someone recommended first training in 1 art until you were proficient, THEN going on to another art. I think that's a good philosophy unless you can train in each art 3 times per week. Scheduling and martial arts can be a weird thing. If you train BJJ everyday except Saturday because you're academy does Judo on Saturday, then I see no reason to not do Judo on Saturdays. It's better than not training at all. If you really want to, you could train BJJ for 1 month, then Judo for 1 month, see how you like them, THEN choose which is your favorite.
Jui Jitsu simply bc it is complex ground game
If you know Judo good, then it would take a top notch bjj expert to lock you out.If you know bjj that judo guy can still throw you or slam you.Judo is having a good core balance and how to take advantage of your opponents energy and converting it to a throw of your opponent.Judo should be your first choice.Then bjj after your good in Judo.
Judo has more of throwings.
Ju jitsu (AKA "Jui jitsu" in this case) has more of chokes and grapplings.
Either are fine as long as there is a good school.
I would say jiu jitsu cuz judo is mainly takedowns and jiu jitsu is standup and ground work. They both are very good so do which ever one you want
judo because it has both ground and stand up fighting
Boxing, if you genuinely want to go breaking peoples ribs and jaws and things.
