Q: What is the difference between Brazilian Jujitsu and Combat Jujitsu?

A: There are several fundamental differences, but the short answer is; Brazilian Jujitsu is an adapted form of traditional jujitsu designed for sport competition.
Combat Jujitsu is a comprehensive system adapted from traditional Japanese jujitsu designed for modern street self defense.
There is much more information on this topic throughout this website. You may want to read some of the "Articles" about it (click on the button on the left side of this page).

Q: Is Combat Jujitsu good for self defense?

A: Yes, and No. The purpose of self defense is to "get away" unharmed, even if that means running away (which is often your best option). Combat Jujitsu starts with the assumption that you cannot run away. You must dominate the enemy (as in military combat), or control the suspect (as in law enforcement).
