Kata competitions, which is where competitors use techniques of the same style and get graded for how well they perform.  You will also find freestyle games where the competitors go after each other.  The defenders are graded on how well they perform.

With the jujitsu system, there is more attention paid to pinning, throwing, choking and strangling techniques.  This is different than other systems of martial arts like karate.  Even though jujitsu is originally a Japanese system, there are some jujitsu schools that use some Chinese moves.

The danger of jujitsu is that with training, some of the moves can be fatal.  Students that have jujitsu classes are usually taught in an environment that is not competitive.  Because of that, there is not a lot of risk.

With jujitsu, you will find five main sectors, otherwise known as the arts of training.  The five sectors are:

• The Art of Blocking (defend against attacks)

• The Art of the Fulcrum Throw (used in judo)

• The Art of the Non-Fulcrum (throws that have very little contact)

• The Art of Escaping (used in different jujitsu styles)

• The Art of Striking (do not have body armor)
