anyway it is a fight between u and i
I'm used to jujitsu, but listed jujutsu as a monovocalic variant. OED2 says jujutsu is a former spelling; Weirdnet gives the same definition for both.
Do the Chinese and Japanese have different spellings/pronunciations? I remember my Japanese flatmate said jujitsu so that's the way I remember it.
