There is no striking in Jiu Jitsu and the main benefit of that has to do with the way Jiu Jitsu practitioners train or spar in classroom settings.

Striking arts even wrestling and judo eventually begin to take a substantial toll on practitioners and which can (not always) be avoidable in jiu jitsu.
