Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu VS Judo

you are right in most respect. I have been taking judo for 3 years and have now started taking BJJ. It mainly depends on the person training you in judo as to what of an effect will have on the grnd. game. I assume most schools rely mainly on the tachi-waza (stand up) more than the ne-waza (grappling). Even though I was fortunate to have an hour for both each class. BJJ expands ne-waza even further.

I thought Judo is almost a simplified version of BJJ? or am i mistaken?

Judo and Jujistu (be it Brazilian or whatever...)at the higher levels are not really that different. Some of these comments do nothing but show how many teenagers and wanabe's who don't do judo or jujitsu frequent the internet. People think because they whatch a few episodes of UFC think they are experts...LOL...LOL... Please leave the opinions about martial arts to people who actually do them...

It can happen, but if it does in any higher up competitions its a reversal before the guy would have much of a chance to land any blows

exactly, i concur

jujitsu stands no hope against judo standing and judo stands no hope against jujitsu on the ground... u have 2 be good at both 2 be truly great

yeah bjj is definitley ahead of judo on the ground, but judo is just as far ahead standing. They need to be crosstrained to be truly complete imo.

I suppose that after a few years, you should have enough guard and half guard to prevent getting mounted, but I mean it'll still happen, I've seen it in top competition. It is bloody specific though haha.

I was mounted while I was training for the first few years, and if you are good enough for BJJ competition you shouldn't ever end up mounted, and if you are it should be an instant reversal

Guy in the white with the black belt (as per the description) is the judo player whilst the guy in the blue with the blue belt (also in the description) is the BJJ player.

It's also easy to tell who is who if you understand the different principles between the two arts and the way the two guys grip each other and look for ways to attack.

Getting mounted by a judoka is no shame man, that's all I gotta say ;)

Nice Uchimata

i do both, judo and Brazilian jiujitsu, they were competing with judo rules, so the jiujitsu guy had no hopes of winning, seeing as the judoka won on a throw, which jiujitsu completly overlooks

Amen, bro! Anyone who bad mouths others is a complete disgrace to the Martial Arts.

They've forgotten its main principle: DISCIPLINE!

heheh... actually, in my first class at BJJ I was mounted... my world went upside down. I had no experience at all and the guy was a judo black belt training in BJJ. The following day the same guy didn't have the chance to mount me at all. He still wipes the floor with me, but at least no more mounts. By the way, I can run very fast too. That helps... ;)
