Martial Arts Jiu Jitsu
I am translating a martial arts book, specifically about Jiu Jitsu, from English to Spanish. Along the book the author sometimes talks about "mentality" and sometimes about "mindset". I believe both terms are very close but there is a small difference. The way I have it translated now is for "mentality=mentalidad" and for "mindset=actitud mental". An example where it appears is:
EN > Without the correct mindset, martial arts are just a weapon.
ES > Sin la actitud mental correcta, las artes marciales son solamente un arma.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

actitud mental
Tu traducción me parece genial, la definición de mindset es 1. a mental attitude or inclination, por lo que estarías transmitiendo exactamente lo que quiere decir el escritor.
En otros contextos se podría traducir de otras maneras, pero en este caso creo que es lo ideal.
Mindset - Actitud mental
Mentality - Mentalidad
Mentality
1: mental power or capacity : INTELLIGENCE
Mentalidad
1. f. Modo de pensar o configuración mental de una persona.
