To my understanding, jiujitsu favors long legs, it's more advantageous for keeping your opponent in your guard (legs latched around their back) and you can put up your legs as a barrier/lock up chokes and holds using your legs. Don't be discouraged, it's really just about styles vs. styles IMO. I felt like a baby when I went against a black belt for the first time. Completely helpless, lol. I'm a white belt.
