If you say Ju JITSU to a Japanese person, they won't know what you're talking about.

Ju JUtsu they will understand. So Jutsu is "more correct".

[Asriel]

Really? So where did JITsu come from?

Early/poor translations before romanji was standardized. That the same thing like led to the kempo vs. kenpo debate.

[BlackStalyon]

Does it REALLY matter?

[CanucKyokushin]

Probaly not.But weren't you ever curious?

Does it REALLY matter?

Yes, because Jujitsu is usually used Western Jujitsu Organizations where Jujutsu (being the correct romanji) is used by Jujutsu Orgs that still have ties to Japan. As this is a JMA forum, I believe it matters.

Then phrost is smarter than you. There really is no such thing as "correct" romanji just various methods. There is no one true method. So it will remain JUJITSU because under several romanization systems it is correct.

Jujitsu....Asia is correct....Phrost is wrong....Because he's Phrost....Phrost is always wrong....I'm right.....Asia's right...Phrost's is wrong......why is that hard to understand?

[rw4th]

I'd still change it just to avoid any confusion with Jiu-Jitsu
