What the difference between karate and jiu jitsu

Are you curious about the difference between Jiu Jitsu and martial arts like Karate or Taekwondo?

Here’s the simple breakdown: Jiu Jitsu focuses more on grappling - think holds, pins, joint locks, and submissions. While it might look intense, it's actually largely about control (of yourself first), when taught correctly it is a relatively non-violent way to defend yourself.

Jiu Jitsu teaches you how to neutralize threats, either by taking down an opponent or by gaining control in a way that prevents both you and them from getting hurt. On the other hand, Karate and Taekwondo involve striking - punches and kicks - which can lead to more violent outcomes and expulsion for children in school.

The beauty of Jiu Jitsu is its effectiveness against common forms of attack like grabs and tackles, perfect for defending against larger opponents. It allows you to close in and immobilize an attacker without causing unnecessary harm.
