Looks like Judo to me - my son studied it for a short while in his early teens. It strikes me as a total waste that here they are showing what he can do so early on and yet they never made any use of it. *shrugs* I guess they had to hurry up and convert the dojo space into the dance studio  . |

I think they showed it, not to show what Jim could do, but to show how hard he worked to get back on the job. Also, he used a perfectly executed Jujitsu choke hold in Under the Gun.  |

Um...from what I can recall, judo and jujitsu are the same thing, or pretty much the same.

Um...from what I can recall, judo and jujitsu are the same thing, or pretty much the same. Here is link that very simply describes the difference between judo and jujitsu: www.ajjf.org/cgi-ajjf/faqs.sh?faq=04When a martial art is practiced as a "sport" the only goal is to score points. When a martial art is practiced as a "fighting art" it is not about kicking ass or scoring points, it is about, skill, beauty, self defense and avoiding conflicts. Judo and Jujitsu may have some of the same moves, and they both certainly involve grappling and throws, but they are not the same. Just like Aikido and Hapkido, even though they both involve joint locks and circle stepping, they are totally different styles. My black belt is in Hapkido, if I wanted to earn one in Aikido, even though I know a lot of the joint locks, etc., I would have to start with a white belt. While I was working toward my black belt, I studied Gracie Jujitsu extensively. |

While I was working toward my black belt, I studied Gracie Jujitsu extensively. In an interview, RE said that Frank Grillo had studied with a Brazilian jujitsu master. He obviously meant it as high praise, but it never made sense to me (Brazil?) until I read a link that Mouse posted about Gracie Jujitsu, which was developed in - yes - Brazil! (I'm sure that I'm oversimplifying, but anyway - thanks, Mouse!) |
