Hey anyone see or know of an old Japanese black and white movie where a Jiujitsu or jujitsu practitioner is challenged by two Karateka brothers and one is i think a bit crazy. I think they end up fighting on a snowy hillside. Thats all i can remember I thought the title translated to "the jujitsu master" but could be mistaken.
Any help?

It's the Judo Saga. It has been filmed a few times. Akira Kurosawa filmed it in two parts. Part 2 would be what you are referring to above. There was another black and white filmed in 1965 that contained the whole story in one movie. I suspect the one you saw was the Kurosawa version.

Thanks Kevin, your help has enabled me to track it down. Titles otherwise known as:
Judo Saga II
Judo Story II
Sanshiro Sugata II (Australia)
Sanshiro Sugata Part Two
Sanshiro Sugata Sequel (literal English title)
Sanshiro Sugata Zoku (Japan)
I look forward to seeing them both in their entirety.

I don't own this particular version of the part 2, but I suspect that the latest Region 4 Pal Australian release is the one to get right now. The older Hong Kong one seen on ebay and other sites is cheap, but the subtitles are really terrible.
This is the Australian Eastern Eye release:
