@jaraman9 OK. How did he Modify them? I started "BJJ" since 1996 and am still searching for it. G's learned x% of Judo from Maeda, added things over the years from their matches and other arts (including judo, e.g. the triangle choke, ezekiel), each teacher teaches his/her own way/style .... but fundamentally it's judo. newaza focused judo in a culture environment that doesn't scare off most foreigners (but is less than it could be. don't ask me how, figure it out for yourselves.)
Thanks Santiago. Agree the training context has changed to fit culture. (But small things re self defense are lost in that process.) Brazilians didn't invent fubol but they're damn good at it. 1905 Brasil kindly opened its doors to Japanese immigrants, some knew judo, the rest is history. Train well!
hey guys,here in brazil we don´t go to the computer and discuss what´s better but we use everything that works,so here in brazil we love sambo leg locks,and wrestiling takedowns if you keep the narrow mind you don´t grow as a fighter.
Thank you so much for posting these videos. You're making me want to choose learning Judo over jiu-jitsu. Sadly, there aren't enough Judo schools around me.
True. BJJ is different method to learn Ne waza. More friendly for foreigner who not comfortable in traditional dojo. Everybody modify move to suit themself but Japanese name difficult for non Japanese speaker to remember so easier to call it something new.
