@@Chadi how is Jujutsu different from aiki Jujutsu ?

[@vaughanmacegan4012]

When I first learnt Judo, the instructor told the class that Judo was Jujutsu with all the bad things taken out :) That's right, I wanted to learn Jujutsu right there and then. Unfortunately, there was no school for it in my small Australian town until much, much later! It sort of reminds of the saying about Aikido, if you hit the ground laughing you are doing Aikido, if you hit the ground in pain then you are doing Daito Ryu.

The practice of Judo is a wonderful complement to Ju Jitsu. That said Judo is also a subset of Jujitsu. I remember going to my first Judo class and when I did rendori with the Sensei every technique I tried I was constantly told that it was illegal in Judo. Judo is great up until you realize that an attacker can kick, punch and choke you among other things.

I’m a JJJ black belt under my father Eric Marshall 8th Dan in Liverpool England. Foul tactics such as eye gouging, weapon defences are a large part of our syllabus. I’m also a BJJ brown belt and know full well if we’re in an emergency type situation such as a home invasion or military combat these traditional foul tactics would be extremely valuable.. 🥋

It seems to me like if you're an experience BJJ practitioner in a street fight: 1 your structure, composure, and technique are so much better than theirs that they're unnecessary. Or 2, it's not a particularly difficult to add eye gouge to your arsenal of available techniques at a moments notice.

[@bigtimepimpin666]

Fascinating as always. One addition. In Portuguese we refer to the place where we practice and learn BJJ as "Academia." Which means literally "Academy." But we also call gyms "academia." So we dont exactly call it a gym, but we kind of do. I agree with you, BJJ ditched too much of the ceremonial cordiality. BJJ instructors themselves clinch, I meant cringe, at being called a coach. But no one calls them sensei. I call them "mestre" (master/teacher/instructor). But I'm the weirdo in class. Of course most Americans are very informal so they don't care.

I agree with you chadi about the ranking system in judo, I trained judo for many years could only and barely afford to pay for lessons I began to excel after 3 years but could not afford belt testing, competitions and the like and easily defeated dan ranks in my club, as a learning disabled individual with a limited income I've trained alone for many years because I feel alienated by instructors and clubs just because of my economic status.

[@trumplostlol3007]

The moral aspect wasn't "introduced" into Judo. It has ALWAYS been part of the Judo system practiced and taught by the originator of Judo, Jigoro Kano. Jigoro Kano actually learned many techniques from a couple of different jujutsu schools before starting his own Judo system. So, Judo is a combination of many Jujutsu techniques from different schools with some improvements and changes based on his own invention. There are Japanese movies and TV series that are based on the real life of Jigoro Kano.

This was great. At my high school, we had a gym. 3/4 was used by basketball and other clubs but the corner used for karate, kendo, and judo clubs was always called dojo. When kendo had a competition, the whole gym was called dojo. Even students messing around with throws at the park called the place they used, dojo. Jo means place and dojo is the place you practice your do. Wherever that is should be respected.

[@freespeech8293]

It's interesting that you speak of respect and etiquette, when it comes to a Judo, Karate, or any other Martial Arts school. This point was heavily emphasized in my Judo and Karate classes when I started training in Martial Arts fifty years ago when I was 13 years young. We had to bow to the class and our teacher every time we entered or left the class for any reason. We had to walk backward to the edge of the class by the door, and not turn our back to the class, when leaving the class. In my Judo school, we were told how to put our Gi together and fold it, and wrap our belt around it. (Like a briefcase). We were told In both my Judo and Karate classes, not to boast about our training. Wash our Gi and dry it in a discreet part of the house, so the neighbors wouldn't see it. (hanging on the laundry rope in the yard was common practice). I appreciate the fact that I was exposed to and trained in a traditional way in Martial Arts in Asia, and tried to pass that on to my students years later. Like many other sport forms, Martial Arts became commercialized, and then it was ruined with the advent of MMAs and cage brawls. I still enjoy and train with much respect for different systems, the lineage holders and the masters.

[@jackfisher1921]

Great video (as usual)!!!! My understanding of the colored belt system is: There were three white belt Kyu's, three brown belt Kyu's and then Shodan. The main reason for the colored ranks is it showed everyone in the dojo your ability to take falls without getting hurt. The advanced belts could also guage what throws to practice when doing Randori. Advanced ranks also knew it was their responsibility to ensure Uke fell in a safe manner. As far as structural differences between Judo & Jujitsu: Kano actually changed a lot of the practical application of techniques. Judo techniques are designed to scoop under and lift up an opponent while classic Jujitsu techniques cut through the body and often angle downward in a way that destroys joints. It was this change that made full speed Randori a practical tool for training. Before that Randori was quite dangerous. Also Judo throwing set up is based off of the bodies natural default to correct balance. Whereas Jujitsu uses the pain response of the nervous system to create an autonomic response by stretching and twisting limbs in a way that causes the muscles to contract. This locks up the joint and/or rips it apart.

[@pauldwalker]

good summary.

[@ObiwanShinobii]

[@jaymorris3468]

Got to be honest i started in jujitsu but after 3yrs we had a meeting with the local judo club, The judo club told us we could use anything we want except butting , eye or mouth gouging and pulling hair, they even gave us a demo with the instructor and as it was a sport they would be respectful,(take it easy) but they werent boasting, we couldnt impliment anything as we were not use to real sparring(,Randori), and you could see they were taking it easy on us, we still got our arse kicked and you could see they were holding back, they just kept us off balance then took us to the ground and wrapped us up. Its apples and oranges, it would be different imo if you did randori like judokas, I also didnt realise they did goshin jitsu in like a bunkai/ kata form. Great channel.

Dojo is the Japanese term but most brazilian call it a academy and in Western Countries we call it a gym but in eastern European countries they call it a training hall. I'm honestly fine with whatever but to remember when you go to bjj its a bjj culture and not a Judo culture. Less formal, a different game and i believe this is great. When in Rome do as the Romans. When in bjj do as the bjj'er and when in Judo do as the judokas. Just my 2 cents as someone who does both for a long time.

[@Chadi]

It's a school in my opinion not a weight lifting room

[@transeuretoile4547]

Yes but even if BJJ is cooler the word academy keeps this idea of a place with a teacher dispensing knowledge to students. Not using the term dojo shows how BJJ cut off its root with japanese culture but the idea has remained the same. Which is fine to me.

[@aluisiofsjr]

I agree 100% with you. I prefer the pratical approach of BJJ without the pomposity of the Judo. In BJJ there is not much authority appeal and it is way less formal and chill.

[@transeuretoile4547]

I guess it is all about culture even if judo has more rituals. They told that in BJJ you have to bow down in a line with graded sorted out (not sure it is the case in judo from my long lost memory). White belt should not invite upper grade to roll even to be taught as it would be interpreted as a form of challenge. It seems quite related to brazilian culture if I am not wrong. Instead you have to wait to be invited. If I return to judo (I stopped with a lower belt) as adults beginners are not so common I am quite sure I would be more obviously invited to randori. During my few attemps in BJJ it was very common to let complete rookie white belt roll together (which is a good way to make place for injury and spazz) for a noob like I was. During my last 10 years of Hema fencing I took notice to train rookies to help them not getting to many wrong habits, avoid injury and speed up their learning. As fighting in a crowded place with everyone with a sword, a spear or another weapon I already had a radar to alway keep an eye on my moves, my back and my fellow comrades. So learning that full strengh experienced jiu-jitsukas rolling have priority if they are rolling to close to me kind of pissed me off. Surely a cultural thing too. To me an experience fighter will adapt to others and to the ground/crowd. But I understand that brazilian culture emphasize some "privileges" for the kings of the mat. Long thread to say that BJJ is way less ritualized than judo but is not so chilled out on some aspects. I guess it is quite normal as it is a martial art it has to be a minimum strict on some rules or tradition as well.

[@ClydeRowing]

The term gymnasium refers to places in ancient Greece dedicated to physical training, but also philosophical, intellectual and social intercourse. Taking this meaning, I'd say it's appropriate. However, I also get the resistance to being compared to a globo gym!

[@asteriskcolon]

"Randori" literally means chaos making though, and in a Japanese Jujutsu context that definitely does not always translate to sparring It could easily mean five guys make a circle around you, and as soon as you lock eyes with one, they attack you with one specific attack they chose, then you do a pre-arranged defense against it (not sparring), then you lock eyes with someone else, and the cycle continues. The chaos comes from the fact that they don't know what order they'll attack you in, and you don't know what attack they will pick to use against you. Just throwing that out there when the statement "Japanese Jujutsu schools had been doing randori for x years" is stated. There is more than one (Very different) interpretation of what randori could look like when it comes to Japanese Jujutsu

[@jestfullgremblim8002]

Actually the word gym is from an ancient Greek word gymnasium. Gymnasium is originally a school of physical education (exactly like a dojo). Then gymnasium became a school of both physical and intellectual education. Then gymnasium became a school of intellectual education. Then gym became what we know today ala bodybuilding, coming back closer to the original meaning.

[@Quach7]

Come to think of it the movie and the name "Gymkata" is very appropriate. The closest descendant of the Greek gym(asium) is gymnastics.

[@jeffyoung60]

I really enjoyed this video! I got to view authentic Japanese Jujutsu as it was practiced straight from Japan at the turn of the 19th to 20th century. The best illustration of the difference between Judo and Jujutsu can be observed in the middle of the video in the dojo kumite demonstration between the elderly Jujutsu master and his sempei, advanced student. The younger man is sporting a short mustache. You know that is an old video as mustaches enjoyed a short fashion in Japan only in the first two decades of the 20th century or so. You see Jujutsu demonstrated in all its historical reality between the master and his semper. It is clearly not the sport Judo you see today. It is all, attack-defend-counterattack-neutralize the attacker. You see regular use of atemi hand strikes from the Jujutsu master during a counter move and as a finish after bringing the attacker to the ground. You see the master using a lot of edge-of-hand strikes, something rarely seen today in modern martial arts. The knife hand or sword hand strikes are nearly extinct in today's martial arts but are still invaluable for Street self defense. The old nicknames were, the Judo chop and the Karate chop. Also see the master employing lightning fast low kicks as a defensive response in itself. The sempei moves in to attack and the master just responds with a fast low kick to stop him. This is classic Jujutsu. You will not see these hand and foot strikes in Judo until at minimum reaching shodan rank and, if your Judo dojo master teaches the historic self defense part of historic Judo.

Liberace famously once told Johnny Carson, I play Beethoven but leave the boreing notes out... he was joking. There is something to the mischaracterization that Judo took out dirty techniques. The real question is, where does that misconception come from? what is the basis? The Koryu were not based on individual talents, they were based on making sure there was Menkyo Kudan, so the art could survive, they were based on training individuals, and pomulgating the system. Even today in many Gendai arts, its all about the system, not looking great. Every family had fighters, teachers, succession, etc. The problem is, on the battle field if the head lineage holder died, and there was no successor, your art died. And, you could have Joe who has a Koryu and it is superb, but he has no son, and no successor, and jim, who has an awful art, but has five sons, all who are ready to succeed dad... What art survives? Hint: the best/better is not a consideration here. This is important because it ties into the notion of a great teacher, developing individuals, developing talent... none of which really mattered much as a concern for a battlefield art. Samurai youth never even picked up a weapon until around early adolescence... Body movement was taught culturally. Now, put yourself in the position of a Ko ryu functionary, with a son... He comes of age, and you have weapons to show him, among them how to use razor blades with handles (originally it might have been bow and arrow, then spear, eventually the sword). Most of the training, initially will not be subtle, it will not be developmental in any fundamental respect. It will be how to handle, on a basic level, the weapons. The fact of the matter is, technique and approach DID develop in these Ko Ryu Ha. Despite the rudimentary concerns, etc. That is because even with all the considerations above, the battle field was an equalizer. What one winds up with are techniques that are in these systems, based on the ability to walk away with all one's toes, fingers, head, and a similar IQ as when one entered the fray. True social Darwinism. This is miraculous... It should never be sold short, compared to how something like Judo has the luxury of functioning... The Ju Jutsu systems were different in the Ko Ryu, the common element was, throws, chokes, and locks were used to break things, or put the enemy into a position so a weapon could be grabbed... unless the art had techniques for body guarding which needed restraint (without drawing blood from those to be restrained). Were some of these approaches changed during the civil period of Japanese history? Any martial art that is effective will adapt to the environment in which it is used... Throwing someone on their head, taking a strangle hold and slamming the spine with the chest on one's head, etc... may have not been necessary, and (despite common misconception) Samurai did tend to avoid killing when they could... But things like gaining position first, then applying technique are developments that came when competitive aspects, Budo aspects of the arts developed. In battle armour (Yora kuma uchi) the first person to hit the ground was usually mounted, helmet lifted, throat cut... there was no grapple for position, etc. You cannot truly practice martial arts full bore... You can go hammer and tongs, and do an excellent job of recreating a legitimate skeptical environment, but the body and mind do not function the same way. For example, lets say we are going to have a go... I am bigger and stronger, I like to grapple and you are smaller, with perhaps more formal skills... You will, no matter what, in a contest under sportive conditions, be concerned about ego, perhaps wanting to do well, maybe you can get fired up? Now, you see your wife and kids, abused and bloody, and this time? the person who did it is a little bigger, stronger, may like to grapple... you are smaller, have some formal skills... do you give a shit? Do you think you may fight a little different? given the situation?

[@danielkeizer4174]

As my teachers came from the nakoni system (no belts but patches called cherry blossoms to indicate level) and i was tought both that and the modernized (belt) system here in the Netherlands. They always said the belt was to keep your pants from dropping. The classical system didn't have grades. It was hand to hand combat for soldiers. Brutal, simple, effective. The syllabus was about 200 techniques. And yes eye gouging was part of it, as was everything destructive. The newer system had another 100 added techniques that were mostly just a variation on an existing move. That, if you had the theory down, one could've just thought of oneself. In the 90's they took out most of the "dangerous" techniques and suplimented them by using mainly judo throws. The curriculum became more extensive adding another couple of hundred variational moves. And the entire belt grading system became even more political instead of merit based. You could only do exams twice a year, and if you skipped one that meant you had to wait for the next opertunity. The entire dan system had little to do with technical expertise. And everything with politics. Beyond 3rd Dan it's all what have you done for the association or school. It became a ceremonial thing that added little. More about status and bragging rights. Like a rotary club. Unfortunately it's lost much of it's former identity and glory. The effectiveness really depending on who taught you and how they themselves were introduced to techniques. Even worse in some styles of karate you could have a teacher who was completely useless, but good at kata and in sparring get his butt handed to him by a 16 year old that knew more and wasn't even a karateka. It's a shame it all got so far removed from it's origin. Atemi is laughably bad these days compared to the days where striking was an integral part of the art.

[@Yupppi]

The sort of honor and tradition was the reason I chose judo as my sport. Nothing better than meeting a fierce combatant that you can respect and trust when doing a friendly randori with. The belt shows how long they have studied the art form and themselves, how long they have learned patience, skill and respect. I will gladly be taken down by a person of that fortitude. Can't say the same about someone who is willing to not show respect to their opponent (it can be a question of one person's health) and who is willing to win by any means possible. I practice judo because I want to grow as a person and keep my body in good condition, not to hurt people or to gain ego. Head in the game.

Vídeo historic research: 10/10 Chadi’s Personal opinion: 5/10 (imho) (It’s an 3 years old video so ill take it with a grain of salt) I don’t think calling it a gym is a problem, and if anything having way too many bureaucratic steps that only stops people from practicing the art/sport. Also some misconceptions when it comes to Brazilian culture, every BJJ gym I’ve been to in Brazil we would always address the sensei as Mestre (Master) or Mestrão (Great Master), and in the contrary all the BJJ gyms I’ve been to in Japan we address the sensei by their last name + san. I think modern BJJ cares more about having people learning and mastering the arts while not quitting, than keeping some surface level robotic respect that will only gatekeep people from staying. And those who stay will have respect for their masters and peers as a result of the hardwork they put and they see others putting as well, that is true sincere respect, not something forced into them.

When promoting in judo isn’t that academic style of promotion good for the growth of judo? Learning all these different throws and being able to demo them even if they aren’t your style. In BJJ for instance our promotions are so wildly different. I might demo some technique, explain some techniques, have my performance measured in sparring or competition, and have met a certain time requirement. Some schools a blue belt can hang with a brown belt from some other school. But with judo don’t you guys have a more uniform standard for belts or is this just me looking at the grass on the other side? If you guys do have a better standard for schools what are the drawbacks if any. (Barring the seminar requirement as you mentioned earlier in the video.) love the videos man. They are the perfect length to walk my dog and get a good listen in!

[@brucefraser4058]

Requirements in judo for promotion differs based on which part of the world you live in and whether the national federation of that territory puts more emphasis on the ijf sporting aspect. For instance, judo where I am from ...( Guyana) is much more old school based on the fact the first judo school was heavily influenced by 3 Japanese exponents, 2 of whom also taught Jiu-Jitsu, Nakayama,Kanai and another one( can't remember his name) ....so what happens here is that there is a syllabus to be followed....comprising of a set amount of standing and ground techniques for each level, upon mastering these techniques via drilling them in various ways...they are then battle tested and students are advised to make suitable necessary adjustments as see fit...according to individuality, students then continue to practise the techniques in the basic form and in free sparring until the instructors decides that the student is ready for a promotion( there's no set time but its usually 6-8 months) this goes on until the green belt is achieved after which the student must now practice a minimum 10-12 months to take the blue belt exam...and then thereafter another minimum 12 months for the brown belt exam...holders of the brown belt wait on average 2-3 years before being allowed to take the black belt exam....at the exams, students are tested on theory, insight, demos and finally randori( free sparring).....blue belts and upwards must also demonstrate self defense tactics and techniques in an un- staged environment..... So it will take about 6 to 8 years to achieve a judo black belt in my dojo.....

[@mpforeverunlimited]

At my dojo I'll get promoted if I'm ragdolling someone thats a higher belt than me. I was at white belt for 3 years but I was completely demolishing a blue belt in randori and newaza so he promoted me that day. Similar thing happened with blue and brown belt also. But for black belt you have to test before a board and your sensei doesn't have much control over it

[@brucefraser4058]

Understood, over here...recognised 3rd degree black belts(and upwards ) after informing the national federation of their intention.... can promote exponents to black belt at their discretion... However it is common in this scenario that a representative of the federation board be invited to the exam to verify that the exponent taking the exam is indeed of standard to take the exam....if the instructor does not hold the required rank to enact an exam......the national federation takes over the process of promotion

[@rafaelrobinandoyii7262]

Some moves are in Aikido but most of it are from Judo. I learned a little in Aikido and Judo and all those moves look familiar to me. It was executed differently but the techniques are the same.

Does Jujutsu practice groundwork? The guard in particular? I am interested in the difference in technique and strategy between the arts.

[@MagicPuncherGames]

Yes, but not as much emphasis is paced on it as BJJ. In my experience, the feeling in JJJ is that on the ground is the last place you want to be in a street fight. If the fight goes to the ground, you should either finish it or stand back up as quickly as possible.

In My Ju Jitsu class we teach Goshin Jitsu to Yellow(2nd) Belts and Kemino to purple(3rd) belts. My teachers say that back in the days of Frank Goody and Mifune there were 3 belts (white, yellow and Black). The 10 belt system is very good for children so that they feel a sense of accomplishment as they go. For a mature student we realize that the color of the belt means nothing compared to the knowledge that you have.

Great video, as always! I like the idea of keeping the words "dojo" and "sensei". I mean, most BJJ schools use the word "osu" now so I'm not sure why the culture hasn't grown to accept those as well. From what I've experienced at Renzo's and Marcelo's schools, a lot of students use the terms "academy" and "professor". Much better than "gym", but I wonder your opinion on those words. Originally I thought it was a bit pretentious, but overtime I've grown accepting of their use.

[@Chadi]

Agreed! Thank you Iria

[@Stephen_Curtin]

I think if you're going to discuss the difference between modern jujutsu schools and koryu schools then you should probably mention the menkyo kaiden system. Also even in the Edo period martial arts schools were still mostly weapons based. Sure jujutsu became more important as time went on, but even Fusen ryu was a comprehensive martial arts school which included naginatas swords daggers truncheons etc.

[@Chadi]

I still have another video about this topic

[@DreanPetruza]

I would say Kyu/colored belt ranks help mostly for modern times and western practitioners, which, specially when young, need more progress feedback and goals. In classic japanese culture this is not so much needed, as patience and tireless practice and repetition are key values.

[@RVM451]

Yes!!! That photo, on your thumbnail supports what I have been preaching for a good long while. JUDO Gis have belled sleeves & the tail of the shirttail reaches to mid-thigh. Brazilian Jujitsu Gis have thin; pencil sleeves & the shirttail barely reaches below the belt. SOMEHOW Modern Judokas have let themselves be conned into suiting up & going out to pracrioce Judo in Jujitsu Gis. Fact is, short of having a JUSO Gi custom made, it is all bit IMPOSSIBLE to find a JUDO Gi that is cut properly.

[@adrianjagmag]

My late father learnt Jujutsu and taught me Jujtusu, lot more striking, lot more breaks, rips, dislocations, even gouges apart from throws, trips, and locks, there was also quite a bit of weapons use (some of it applies/derives from armoured fighting as well). It's well rounded and works in conjunction with my family Shastar style, but there were so many styles of Jujutsu that it's hard to generalise since Judo is standardised. No?

[@alittlepuertoricanboy1993]

Chadi, Newer fan to the channel. Just wanna leave one my disagreement in your opinion that BJJ should refer to the training facility as a dojo and not a gym. I actually firmly believe it doesn't matter and that it's more factual to call it a gym because: 1.) BJJ is a Westernized offshoot of judo. 2.) BJJ doesn't inherently follow a "gentle way", it keeps in line with the idea of "gentle technique". 3.) A dojo actually is the Shinto shrine and torii gate that Japanese martial arts schools put up. If a school doesn't have a torii gate, it isn't a dojo, because it doesn't have a dojo. This also ties into point number one, because most people who practice BJJ aren't Shintoists anyways. Great channel otherwise. I'm staying tuned for more excellent videos!

The Gracie family initially referred to their schools as "Academia" (academy) or "acadimia" in the carioca accent. However, I believe there was a mistranslation (and marketing decision) when they expanded to America and began using the term "gym."

In truth judo at its origin was an unicum of jujutsu schools and styles, it had everything in it, chokes leverage game takedown and grappling. Then the competitions got softer excluding dangerous techniques, anyway in good judo dojos they will teach you all the set of moves

[@mofal1703]

im sorry I call it a gym. I bow, I do randori, I roll a lot, but its where I get my work out. yes my coach is my sensei I would say, but I call him professor. the reason for all this is that its about showing your focus is on getting better above all else. there needs to be a respectful casual attitude in the gym so people don't get nervous or intimated when they first walk in. otherwise americans cant take the art seriously. sorry but its the way it is for a reason.

[@SquallSf]

GYM! GYM! GYM! Respect has nothing to do with using or not using a specific word. I can be completely disrespectful while using "the right word" and the opposite - be absolutely respectful by not using "the right word". A respect is a state of mind, where you understand (have deep knowledge or awareness) for specific area of knowledge (martial art or something else) and that is why, you understand and respect other persons commitment to achieve certain skill/knowledge, regardless are your personal skills in that area better or not. Expressing a respect is always cultural dependent - it is a mix of religious believes, philosophies, traditions and everyday life. So in Japan that might be using Dojo, in England it could be a gym, and in my country it is a different word.

[@wendellignatin1228]

Thank you for doing this video Chadi. My understanding is that in JuJutsu we aim to manipulating the opponent's force against themselves. This means that we are dependent on the other guys momentum. Judo is somewhat different. Many of the techniques require us to use our own energy. Chokes, pins, throws, and sometimes strikes.

It's worth noting too that weapon defenses are far more legit in the context of having armor (a) You might not get killed if you get stabbed or slashed once or twice (you could, but not necessarily) (b) Punching and striking in general is not worth much in armor so your time spent to set up complex wrist/arm locks is... much more justifiable

[@Chadi]

Yes but gendai should reflect more modern times

[@asteriskcolon]

​@@Chadi Stab proof vests (good for most knives) are affordable-ish and wouldn't necessarily be obvious (ie, you could wear one and people might not know) Not to say that it's a good life practice to go out into the world every day to assume you're going to be stabbed. But I do think training weapons defense is always good if self defense is the goal (broad self defense rather than specifically fighting) You might (without armor) never get above a 30% chance of surviving a serious knife attack, BUT with training over time you might be able to go from a ~10% chance to a 30% chance, and that's 3x the likelihood of survival in the event you had to defend against one

11:41 that's bs, using karate as a example: it came from China and Okinawa/Ryukyu kingdom but most styles use japanese cloth/gi, grading system(colored belts by Jigoro Kano) and call their techniques by japanese words

[@LupusRexRgis]

In BJJ the dojo is referred to as gym because it is a different sport with different cultural influences. Unlike Judo it has a huge surfing influence, which explains the Shaka, the handshake/fist bump before sparring/matches and the cannabis acceptance. The same way Sambo fighters call their trainers “coach” and nobody complains, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighters call their dojo “gym” (the Gracies go even beyond and call it “cadimia”, which is a mispronunciation of the word “academia”, literally meaning gym), and there’s nothing wrong with it, since it is officially a Brazilian martial art, despite having a strong Judo base.

[@Chadi]

Gym comes from gymnasium from Greek "a place to train naked" bjj is not reflective of Greek culture, if anything it still reflects Japanese culture with the gi and techniques

[@LupusRexRgis]

Chadi I’m not saying you are wrong, after all it does reflect the Japanese culture in a lot of its aspect, but the Gracies themselves decided to follow a different path, and one of the differences in this path was with the names. They removed the Japanese names from almost everything in it, in a clear attempt to make it “more Brazilian”. My point is that it shouldn’t be a surprise if BJJ practitioners call the dojo gym, the same way the Sambo fighters do, even though the founder Vasili Oshchepkov trained under Kano himself.

[@aluisiofsjr]

@@LupusRexRgis wow! You understand very well the enfuriating "CADIMIA" wrong spelling of the Gracies. lol And I agree 100% with you. The Gracies did very well not submiting themselves to the Kodokan.

They made a huge success that the Judo guys are jealous and now they are trying to ressurect the Kosen Judo.

[@Chadi]

Thank you for clearing it up

[@brentzur]

The shift away from using the term "Sensei" and "Dojo" may be a healthy shift. Although not as prevalent in Judo and BJJ, there has been a tendency to idolize martial art teachers and martial art systems in the past. Being a good coach or Sensei in Judo or BJJ does not always make you a good role model outside of the school and finding one good martial art school should not lead to dismissing other schools or systems. That being said I see both Judo and BJJ as martial arts and the sport and competitive side of the arts as an important tool to improve.

[@Chadi]

If your teacher uses his position to be authoritarian and a bully rather than a teacher and a guide then yes, but someone who rolls with his students and friendly yet strong and assertive should be called sensei, they're your teacher and they earned their respect through years of training acquiring knowledge, and they're giving you their knowledge which is very valuable, they're not your buddy or on the same level as you, calling them professor or sensei is reasonable to me.

[@MM-zj8be]

Aiki Ju Jutsu breakdown would be nice. Samurai who lost their katana in battle used what m.a. to defend themselves altho amongst certain death??

[@DarkPhoenixTSi]

As a judoka and karateka, I don't see the problem with it being called a gym or academy since BJJ is more of a sport based art as it is being taught now. Since it is a combat art in the same vein as boxing or wrestling, why not keeping calling it a gym? Even in Japan, dojo is used for any facility for physical training, so "gym" makes sense.
