WolverineGuy Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 The gracie's were the first to coin the phrase Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Anything else than Gracie Jiu Jitsu is an offshoot. Wolverine1st Dan - Kalkinodo"Shut up brain, or I'll stab you with a q-tip""There is no spoon."
Treebranch Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 I have a lot of respect for Kodokan Judo. They teach some striking in Kodokan right? "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
rb Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 Rarely as judo schools are dominated by sport training. Striking techniques are learned in kata altough I've seen some schools actually practice them in a restrained form in randori. Also Judo draws its strength on the principle of mutual benefit. Kano wanted judo to be for everyone including women and children. Therefore techniques had to be safe and repeatable. Certain joint locks and strikes were not seen as such-therefore they are not permitted in free practice or competition. Because strikes are pretty much ignored, judokas tend to be sloppy strikers. However, nothing a little cross training can't fix...
Reklats Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 The term, Brazilian ju-jutsu, from everything i recall, is not copyrighteable. Thus, exploitation of ignorance ensues, and many people open up schools 'claiming' to teach bjj... and who's to call them a liar? Except it would be very very hard to "fake teach" bjj. It's not just prancing around the room doing forms. If a person that really took bjj showed up, the game would be over instantly.
Treebranch Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 Your right about that. It's sad that other MA's can't really say the same thing with the exception of a few.
