Jiu Jitsu is basicly a wrong transliteration of the kanji for jujutsu. aparantly the portugiese were responsible for that one. But nowadays JuJutsu is generally the name the german system uses, gracie jiu jitsu and the japanese use nihon jujutsu as the name. so in a sense you're right the gracies never said they do jujutsu and on the other hand you're wrong, they just mispell the transliteration, which doesn't stop from kicking my ass in a fight, most likely

all types of jujitsu fascinate me, its such a universal styile of combat. Im testing for my brown in bjj(Gracie Barra Jujitsu) in a few months, but i'd love to train in some more traditional jujitsu forms aswell.

"since when is jiujitsu the same as jujutsu" Well since they are the transliteration into Roman letters of the same kanji: Ju or Jiu -- suppleness, softness -- and Jutsu or Jitsu -- art, technique...

since when is jiujitsu the same as jujutsu?? or even trying 2 pass itself off as the same.....??

i agree with you all, i hate that when you say the word jujutus everyone thinks bjj...bjj is bjj and jujutsu is jujutsu. nothing against bjj, its an integral part of goshin jutsu as well..groundwork that is. but i think its more like judo than jujutsu. this ..i wouldnt call it 'original' ...search for koryu jujutsu...thats classical jujutsu! kata based.

Yes. You are right. But there are both ways of armbar on the shoulderin in this situation. In this case he could be going to proceed Ippon-zeoi (throw-down) and control the opponent on the ground.Thanks for the good comment.

well done, but the armbar over shoulder by 1:52, it´s on the false shoulder I guess

I couldn't agree more, finally real ju jutsu.but the gracies are good in what they do, and that is ground frighting and grappling. although it's probably more along the lines of the old kano ju jutsu, which became judo later on, but with modern techniques,

Finally REAL Japanese ORIGINAL Jiu Jitsu and non of this Brazillian ground fighting crap.Well Done.
