Types of jiu-jitsu?

I'm aware that there are different forms of jiu-jitsu out there. Example I can think of off the top of my head include Aikido, Judo, BJJ, and Japanese Jiu-jitsu (aka tai-jitsu).

Are there other common forms of Jiu-jitsu being taught here in the US other than these?

I also had some questions about Tai-Jitsu, I'm assuming this is Japanese JJ? I've looked at a few vids online, it almost looks like karate. Would this be a fair example?

Isn't Tai-Jitsu something from Family Guy? Anyway, something to get you started: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jujutsu#Schools_and_derivatives_and_others

Taijutsu (modern spelling) means "body art(s)" and is merely Aikido's term for techniques without weapons; several other Japanese and Japanese-derived martial arts also use the term. Some other Japanese martial arts might use "jūjutsu" or "yawara" to refer to roughly the same idea.

If it traces direct linage to some traditional Jujutsu in Japan then it can be called Jujutsu. 99% of the Jujutsu out there today is nothing of the sort. Even most Jujutsu in Japan is not Jujutsu anymore.
