To use your phonetic spelling juujutsu would be more like jew-jew-tsue, with the first jew being stretched out a little. That is, both ju syllables would be pronounced the same way. The tsu on the end is its own syllable. Unless we're talking about the English word, which I'm not sure how to pronounce. If we're talking about the American word then it's really just like a lot of other murkin words: butcher it any way you like.
