The gracie's were the first to coin the phrase Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Anything else than Gracie Jiu Jitsu is an offshoot.

I have a lot of respect for Kodokan Judo. They teach some striking in Kodokan right?

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...

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.

Your right about that. It's sad that other MA's can't really say the same thing with the exception of a few.
