Spectre:
There were, at minimum, dozens of Jujutsu schools during the time period I mentioned. It's hard to say how many, but it is possible that there were hundreds.
Most Jujutsu styles were actually both striking and trapping/throwing arts. A handful were specialists in ground grappling. Some were striking arts based on Chinese striking styles (Kempo in Japan).
You have to understand that the word "Jujutsu" like the word "Yawara" was used during various periods to refer generically to a "martial art." So, a number of them were purely striking arts with a sprinkle of throws mixed in. As I wrote before, a vast majority of them were NOT ground grappling arts.
