what's the difference between judo, karate, ju-jitsu and kickboxing?
and what is each?
I'd like to start a martial art but I'm unsure as to what they all are.
Judo is a Japanese grappling (wrestling) art based largely around throws, though pins, chokes, and arm locks are also taught. Those with a background in Judo tend to have tremendous balance and core strength, as well as grip strength. The gi (jacket/uniform) is used to control the opponent and sometimes apply chokes.
Karate is the name of a family of martial arts that have their origins on the island of Okinawa. The primary emphasis in karate is on striking in the form of punches, kicks, knee strikes, elbow strikes, and open-hand strikes. There are a variety of systems under the karate banner, and each will have a different emphasis. Most karate schools teach some limited grappling in the form of throws and standing joint locks; some also teach the use of weapons, usually traditional Okinawan weapons such as the bo (staff), kama (sickle), and nunchaku (flail).
Jujitsu, the way you have spelled it, is a traditional Japanese martial art from which Judo originated. Like karate, it is an umbrella term for many separate styles. The emphasis is usually on grappling in the form of locks and throws, but basic strikes also come into play. Jujitsu is typically taught in a, "if he does this, you do that" manner, focusing on escaping basic grabs, chokes, and strikes. Some jujitsu schools also teach traditional Japanese weapons, including the use of the sword. There is also a popular variation called Brazilian or Gracie Jiujitsu that focuses almost exclusively on grappling and ground fighting.
Kickboxing is generally taught as a sport, similar to boxing, except one is allowed to use the kicks of the Eastern martial arts as well. Students usually train in boxing gloves and often have some sort of foot and shin protection. As a full-contact sport, one is expected to spar (practice fight) at some point. Kickboxing classes tend to have far fewer rituals and trappings of Eastern culture than other martial arts. Sometimes, classes advertised as "kickboxing" are simply cardio-boxing, like Tae Bo. I do not consider this true kickboxing, as they're not actually teaching you how to fight.
As always, your mileage may vary. I'd suggest visiting the local schools to get a feel for what they offer. Most places will let you take a free class or two. Try them out, then chose your favorite.
