Jujutsu Techniques and HistoryJapanese Jujutsu systems typically place more emphasis on throwing, immobilizing and pinning, joint-locking, choking, and strangling techniques. Atemi-waza (striking techniques) were seen as less important in most older Japanese systems, since samurai body armor protected against many striking techniques. Chinese kung fu systems focus on punching, striking, and kicking more than this system. 
Systems that derive from Japanese martial arts don't focus on striking as much as Chinese martial arts. On the other side, a few schools likely have some Chinese influence in their development. Systems differ in their techniques, and many do include significant numbers of striking techniques. Students mostly train in break falling skills to allow them to safely practice otherwise dangerous throws. Five main sectors ("arts") of training: 1. Art of Blocking
2. Art of the Fulcrum Throw
3. Art of the Non-fulcrum Throw
4. Art of Escaping (Hakko-Dori)
5. Art of Striking (Atemi-Waza)
