wee steve Newbie 12 posts	Monday 9th January 2006 at 17:30 Hi i have been enjoying studying Traditional Ju-Jitsu for the last six months purely to get fit and as a source as self defence. I have enjoyed it very much but i have noticed a slightly negative view of the traditional style and wondered why? I have enjoyed studying what i would consider a complete style of self defence (i.e 1 with strikes, throws, locks and grappling) so why the negativety? What are the weakneses?

The problem with TJJ is that it is taught by people that believe that its all you need. TJJ is good but its not the complete package, maybe BJJ isn't ?? I wouldnt say everyones opinion is negative it just hasnt progressed in the way other martial arts have. ______________________________

If they stick to a strict Japanese style, then it might be pants. If they incorporate more grappling, more boxing, etc. then it'll obviously be better. I used to love doing TJJ, but after a while it got a bit stale and i needed something more. The Admin Guy
