underlying reason for it being a proper name, or it isn't one. And a large number of external sources, especially ones specifically about martial arts, do capitalize "Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu" and ever other martial art name. It being common in such works does not make it correct here. Any review of specialist publications on virtually any topic will show an unmistakeable preponderance of mis-capitalizing all sorts of things in the field to which the work pertains, simply as a form of emphasis. E.g., any book by T.F.H. or similar publishers on animals as pets always capitalizes the common name (Nile Monitor, Tiger Salamander, etc.), even though this is grammatically wrong. Books on stamp collecting and comics collecting capitalize grading conditions (Very Fine, Near Mint), etc., but it's grammatically wrong. There are literally unending examples of this. Some people always want to capitalize things that are important to their interests; when they are writing for a specialist audience in a specialist publication being read only by people who miscapitalize the same things, no one notices or cares. When they come to Knowledge (XXG) and try to force their incorrect capitalization on the rest of the world, using the excuse that reliable sources in their field can be shown to capitalize, they are engaging in the

controversies, arguments, disagreements, and factual disputes are all apart of what makes this article great. Yes, there are mulitple spellings of Jiu-Jitsu. Yes, many people in Jiu-Jitsu have almost a brotherly relationship to Judo or consider it much of, if not completely the same thing. Yes, there is open half guard and closed half guard. Jiu-Jitsu is a world unto itself. There are literally thousands of moves and positions available, over 2000 in side mount alone, as well as the constant and unlimited scientific research into new techniques and perspectives everyday. Good luck to the persons who attempt to define it, as it is constantly growing both in the present and the past as we realize that open hand combat is as early as caveman days when the first guy was RNC'd over a dinosaur egg. The best we can do is take a snapshot of what we know, right now, and keep adding information as we better understand what this art means. However, I do not believe at all that you should be completely deleting information once you gain a new perspective or backed opinion. Having it available, what you deleted, in the Discussion board is also highly beneficial to the reader. I'm not sure if this will get posted, but to whomever is reading this. Thank you. Happy Training.

evidence or even loose stories to support the notion that 1 and 2 were ever used in BJJ. Win by submission seems to be the only rule ever mentioned, and to suppose that BJJ must have used Kodokan rules because it used Kodokan-derived techniques is not really a convincing argument. Until there is some evidence presented to show that the Kodokan rules were ever followed at all, I continue to hold that the section's premise is flawed. Some of the information is certainly useful and should be included, but the section as a whole gives the reader an impression that is not based on facts. At least not facts that I've seen, and certainly not facts sourced in this article. In the meantime, I think it's better to remove the section pending re-write rather than let it stand in its flawed state. Will hold off until hearing back before removing it, though. Let me know what you think!

555:, one of the most consistently disruptive behaviors that affects Knowledge (XXG). Reliable sources on facts about a topic are not reliable sources on English-language grammar and style. All reliable sources on style, from dictionaries to style manuals, on both sides of the Atlantic, say not to engage in that sort of bogus capitalization-for-emphasis. It's not any better than or different from "grocers quotes", as in "Green 'Apples' $ 5/dozen". It's a blatant misuse of style that signifies one thing (proper names with capitalization, quotations with quotation marks) as if it signified something else (emphasis). Dicklyon's "where to draw the line" question is answered by "when reliable sources clearly indicate that a martial art is an actual trademark, and can be shown to not be miscapitalizing all martial arts simply as a form of emphasis." — 2124:"Seiryoku-zen'yo";"maximum efficient use of energy"(right), "Jita-kyoei";"mutual prosperity for self and others"(left) written by Prof.KanoThe essence of this system he expressed in the axiom "maximum efficient use of energy", a concept he considered both a cornerstone of martial arts and a principle useful in many aspects of life. Practical application of this principle, he felt, could contribute much to human and social development, including "mutual prosperity for self and others", which he identified as the proper goal of training. What Kano had created transcended mere technique to embrace a set of principles for perfecting the self. To reflect this, he replaced justu (technique) in the word "ju-jutsu" with the suffix do (path) to create a new name for his art: judo. His training hall he named "Ko-do-kan," or "a place to teach the path." 2109:=== == There have ben many spellings of Jiu-Jitsu, both in the past and present. In summary, the original word is jujutsu, which means gentle technique. The word was changed to Judo, gentle way, by Jigoro Kano who invented Judo and thought the techniques of the art should be applied to one's life, thus becoming principles and not just techniques. Present day the spelling is Jiu-Jitsu or Jiu Jitsu. In Japan, it is a law that the art must be called Judo, but that law does not extend to other countries and so each country calls it something a little different. The word is a Japanese word and there are other forms of jutsu's such as Naginatajutsu, Ninjutsu, Sojutsu, and Shurikenjutsu. None of which are hyphenated. There are Japanese Arts that end with Do or Justu. 'Do' being a way of life and 'Jutsu' meaning Technique. 2146:

national "Gentle Art of Self Control," which gentle art can cause instant death, if need press, with no other weapon than hands and body. The Japanese samurai, nobility, could defile their swords upon no man not equal or superior. The Ninety-First was again most fortunate in securing a master of the difficult system, a man who was chosen to teach Jui-jitsu to the Japanese themselves. Curiously, and wisely, they will not issue a diploma to a student who has but proved himself proficient, he must teach others, for a set period, successfully. It is something, then, to be instructed by a man who holds that curious scroll. Capt. Thornberry published a series of illustrated books upon Jui-jitsu several years ago.

practical for? Street fighting or no-holds-barred cage fights? Even a NHB fight (by which I mean a cage match free of MMA's sport-imposed restrictions) isn't "true" combat, because each opponent knows he's only facing one other person. In this regard, I think it's pretty clear that BJJ is more "practical" than judo. Whether one or the other is more "practical" for "combat" depends on your definition of those two words. In my opinion the argument would be made moot if we got a little more specific about BJJ's origins in Vale Tudo, which defines the kind of combat we're talking about and eliminates any controversy, because BJJ is clearly more effective training for Vale Tudo than Judo.

2015:, both the changes in the Kodokan rules and the changes in the style used by the Gracies, how they went from being taught Judo to creating what would become modern BJJ (By the time they anyone called it Gracie jiu jitsu let alone BJJ it was very different again). I did not mean to imply that BJJ had used those rule only the when someone was metaphorically sat at a table writing "The rules of BJJ" they would have had "The rules of Judo" on the table as a reference. Hope that makes sense, a basic re-write or commenting it out would be a good step but removing it means someone coming to edit that section had no starting point, or sources, to help.-- 1631:

being a martial arts example of morality and good conduct. Another criticism is that Jiu-jitsu was never created by brazilians - it was adapted. In japanese terms, it should be called Gracie-ryu (gracie school or method), but many people still believe that the art was created in Brazil. Besides, all the good aspects of traditional japanese martial arts, such as etiquette, discipline, hierarchy, respect to others, the kind of thing that promotes human development, all of this were ignored and forgotten by these brazilian schools - a real disrespect for the thousands of years of development the art took to reach such a level.

phrases simply for being nounal is a common practice in German and several mutually related languages, but no longer applies to English". Maybe if I used "This is English, not German; we do not capitalize misc. nouns and noun phrases" would work better? I have my "stock phrase" about this programmed as a macro and use it sometimes a dozen or more times in a single wiki-editing day, so I don't much care what it says, word-for-word, as long as the point is clear and it fits in an edit summary with room for further comments. Sorry if it's been irritating to Germans! Anyway, feel free to take it up on my talk page.

photograph of Yataro Handa. "The other school of jiu-jitsu is called Handa, and its great teachers are at Osaka, where I learned. Handa is more particularly the kind of jiu-jitsu used when two men are on the mat, as in catch-as-catch-can. The jiu-jitsu tricks of the tiny Japanese policemen, which have been written about so much by travelers, embody the elementary principles of the Kodokan method, and some of the policemen are quite good at them. As I have said, there is little stand-up work in catch-as-catch can and Handa experts are the ones to offer a comparison between the Japanese and American methods..."

1483:::while i see your point that half-guard might seem a bit overly technical to be a first picture introducing someone to bjj, i would disagree with your assertion that it looks "gay" or seems "uninteresting." a lot of time is spent in half guard as it's a good position to get a sweep, so it is a pretty accurate representation of a typical bjj position. if you want to change it to something less "gay" and more "interesting," perhaps you could do so; however, as i said, i don't think it's either gay or uninteresting. maybe just overly technical. 2167:

specializations such as those denoted by the "aiki," karate, or kenpo prefixes. The prefix "ju" in jujutsu means softness, suppleness, or flexibility. Jujutsu techniques are used to react to an opponent’s attack rather than using brute strength to overcome him. A small person may overcome a larger person by means of stratagem and effective technique. The analogy of a bamboo tree, whose flexible trunk bends in high winds to avoid being uprooted, describes how jujutsu conceptualizes the art of fighting.

1852:. Need there be constant references to Judo and Kano's philosophies in every section of the article on top of a "Comparison with Judo" section? And why is there said section when the Judo article does not have a "comparison with Tenshin Shinyo and Kito Ryu" section, and indeed no other martial art article has such a section of comparison with its originating art? Why is there at least as much discussion of Judo as Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in the article supposedly about Brazilian Jiu-jitsu? 487:, expect that to change, and we're more than half-way to that point already). But – and this is crucial – before KM was codified as such and recorded with that name in English, it only existed under a Hebrew name, and that language has no capital/lower-case letter system. I.e., the question of Krava Maga's unique capitalization devolves to absurdity if one tries to assert anything notable under the lower-case name "krav maga" in Latin lettering. Doing so would be a text book case of 1605:- Helio doesn't appear to be in the path here. Can someone please clarify (like, did Helio also teach Carlos, Jr. or contribute to the Gracie Barra school in another way)? Wouldn't it be a fair statement to also say that all 4 styles can trace roots back to Carlos, Sr., since he studied directly from Maeda and passed those teachings along to his brothers (including Helio). I'm not coming at this from any particular side, just seeking clarification; citations would be good, too. 2116:

in other combative forms as well. Integrating what he considered the positive points of these with his own ideas and inspirations, he established a revised body of physical technique, and also transformed the traditional jujutsu principle of "defeating strength through flexibility" into a new principle of "maximum efficient use of physical and mental energy." The result was a new theoretical and technical system that Kano felt better matched the needs of modern people.

alot of peopple makes up his/her minds about a type of Martial Art (Even Judo) as they seen on regular TV or Film, and any other Martial Art that did not show over 90% of ground techniques (either in TV or Film) is classified as uneffective. Thus pointing out viewer should learn a type of Martial art that is over 90% ground techniques. This promotion strategy can be considered as desparated salesman that try to paint every one else black to promote himself

1701:

against multiple opponents, does not teach fighting with weapons, and deemphasizes the problems traditionally associated with the ground(biting, eye gouges, groin pulls, fish hooking, etc). Although BJJ doesn't claim to be an all around fighting system, so claiming that it doesn't prepare people for real combat is less of a criticism and more of an observation. What it does claim to do however it does well and that should be(and is) acknowledged.

that city"... Col. Risher W. Thornberry. Thornberry wrote several books on jujitsu from 1905 to 1933. In his first jujitsu book written in 1905, the first page is very interesting. It shows a picture of Prof. Kishoku Inouye, "Instructor to the Nagasaki Police". At the top of the page it reads, "Jiu-jitsu - As taught by Prof. Inouye to over 2,000 Officers and Soldiers now at the front line." Reference to the Russo/Japanese war.

but times are changing, and for example 10th planet jiu jitsu (eddie bravo's school) only trains with no gi. he does promote his students, except they have different colored shirts instead of belts. again, it's a question of philosophical semantics as to where to differential no gi bjj and submission wrestling. i guess the short answer is yes, you can get promoted without a gi, but that would depend on your school.

regulated. The practitioner can therefore benefit from a closer fit, providing less material for an opponent to manipulate." Is there no regulation or inspection of BJJ gis? I know that they have a slightly different fit than Judo gis (the width of the pants at the cuff, and the width of the sleeves at the cuff can be much smaller) but they have to meet certain requirements for competitions don't they? --

1068:

opponent's while in the bottom position, he is by definition applying the 1/2 guard, albeit poorly. As for which legs wraps which? I use either, depending on the needs of the moment. Eddie Bravo likes to lock outside over inside, others inside over outside -- whatever works. How about someone uploads a pic of someone applying the position effectively?

735:

experience of high level judo competitions, but I suspect that the gi-checking is similar at the top levels of brazilian jiu jitsu. If "tightly regulated" refers to the permitted dimensions of the gi, it's clear that brazilian jiu jitsu allows for a tighter fitting gi. But that doesn't seem to be the point being made. Perhaps it should be edited?

to the development and adaptation it has seen over the past few years due to the world of mixed martial arts as greco-roman wrestling, and real life fighting has changed what the Brazilians added to Japanese Jiu Jitsu. It is also known as many names from American Jiu Jitsu, Hawaiian Jiu Jitsu, and simply Jiu Jitsu, and it continues to evolve."

1860:, the article as it stands is decidedly NPOV and fraught with original research. If links to interviews and articles substantiating this approach of BJJ as a subset of Judo could be produced, that would of course merit inclusion. Until such references can be produced, however, I hold that the article merits significant re-writing. 1297:

right or not in general. They are certainly right when it comes to a bare-skinned challenge on a soft surface. Probably correct with regards to a clothed opponent on soft surface, especially if that person is untrained in being thrown, but could be incorrect when it comes to scenarios with hard surfaces. --

1456:

anyone curious will google BJJ, find the Knowledge (XXG) article (it's the first search result) and be greeted with two guys in half guard/mount. Someone not knowning about the sport will I'm afraid will look at this picture and call it gay immediately - at the end of the day first impressions count...

I understand that there may be a language barrier issue here. Please, if you attempt an edit which is repeatedly removed by many other editors, make sure you are not missing anything, such as the request in the "Famous Practitioners" section of the article to limit the list only to those people known

Compounding the problem of official terminology may also be the desire of some teachers or schools to emphasize or (perhaps even) to exaggerate the differences between their style and others. This can be confusing for the observer or prospective student, much as someone wanting a portable phone might

Etymology The word “jujutsu” (柔, “ju,” gentle, flexible, or versatile; 術, “jutsu,” art, practice) in Japanese means "gentle (or flexible) art." There are several romanized spellings; jujutsu, the current standard spelling, is derived using the Hepburn romanization system. Before the first half of the

Kodokan Judo was founded by Jigoro Kano, who as a youth began practicing jujutsu* as a way to strengthen his frail body. Kano studied both the Tenjin Shinyo-ryu and Kito-ryu styles of classical jujutsu, eventually mastering their deepest teachings, and supplemented this training with an avid interest

2090:

I have seen all sorts of variations on spellings of the word jiujitsu, jiu-jitsu,jujitsu, etc. and there seems to be no universal consensus on how it should be spelled in English. I must ask why then, has the "Jiu-Jitsu" variation been used as the title of this article? Was there a previous consensus

1634:

If it wasn't for that, perhaps Jiu-jitsu could be in the Olympics. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu was and still is an martial method of rowdies, of trouble making people. They are not, I repeat, an example of conduct. This is a veryfiable fact, and mention to this should be made of the main page. It is far from

A better picture would be say, one guy with knee-on-belly choking his partner, or one guy in the midst of a takedown/slam. Anything would be better that this picture, although a picture of someone in another guy's guard would be worse. I can't even put Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in my hobbies/interests as

3. Again, anyone can have a weapon at anytime, but to a good grappler an exposed arm (grabbing for a weapon) can easily mean a dislocated shoulder in a matter of seconds. Also dropping a hand to your side could expose your head to an onslaught of punches, and in the heat of the moment, you are almost

Well at lower levels stregth tends to play a larger roll. That said numeros times have the gracies proved size matters not. Watch Gracie VS Severn, Gracie clearly at weight disadvantage (80lbs) this one example of many. My personal jiu jitsu coach whos is 25 Lbs lighter than me can tap me at about

As I used to say to the judoka I sparred with (my background is Shotokan Karate and some jujutsu) "If you are always using your opponent's strength against him, how come you can bench-press a Chevy?" While my question was intended to be humerous, most succesful practitioners of the grappling arts are

545:

They are cumulative in the same direction. What I objected to in Dicklyon's reasoning was the idea that "Krav Maga" is capitalized here because it's frequently capitalized in third-party sources, and Brazillian jiu-jitsu should not be because it's isn't. External publications do not set style here.

Nog is being removed from the list because, as described in the section when you edit it, it is reserved only for practitioners who are famous for success in sport BJJ or as great teachers of BJJ. Nogueira is not famous for any accomplishments in sport BJJ competition; he is known for his success in

I believe the belt pictures should be inverted because the correct way to tie a BJJ belt is to have to tabs on the left side of your body. If you are looking at someone from the front it will look as if it on your right and their left. Right now all the belt pictures show the tabs on the left of the

Criticism sections are a sign of bad writing, you should try to interweave criticism if you find it, not create a criticism section and then try to fill it. The obvious major criticism of bjj is its use in real life as it doesn't contain disarms(to my knowledge), has no real curriculum for defedning

1355:

Interestingly, your criticism has strayed off yet again on a different tack. I never said that judo was safe or crowd-pleasing... just that the rule changes were made to try to make it so. It is a well-known fact. Only controversial statements are strictly subject to the need for citation. Not every

I'll make this simple. Please find a reference from media or academia and I won't touch it even if it is an obvious anti judo BJJ propaganda. I'm invoking verification criteria. Onus of responsibility is now on you to find a verifiable source(s). I will find my reference in regard to the jodo-jujutu

Due respect to all: there are so many different variations to the 1/2 guard that talking about a 'correct' way is impossible. Even a 'standard' way would be difficult to agree on. Sure, the guy on the bottom is making innumerable errors, but by virtue of wrapping two of his legs around one of his

because this is ONLY reserved for the original founders of BJJ; Also the red belt should not be included in that list, since a) it is not a feasible belt to be attained, it is very very difficult to get; b) there is no red and black belt in the list before it, so if the red belt is up, then also put

I believe the founder of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is Carlos Gracie. Helio, and the other brother's learned from him. Helio added other techniques that benefitted his size, but so did the other BJJGM's. each had their own way of teaching and adding/subtracting techniques. To say that Helio's the "founder"

Actually, there is still no evidence that the Kodokan rules of the time were used. Since its inception, the Kodokan has awarded the ippon (win) one of three ways: 1) Powerful, controlled throw ; 2) Osaekomi (pin), though the duration has changed ; 3) Jointlock or choke. I have never, ever seen any

A previous version of the section 'Future of Jiu Jitsu' stated the following: "Just as Brazilians added to the Jiu Jitsu that was introduced from Japan, so has the world of mixed martial arts contributed to the development of Jiu Jitsu. To continue referring it as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is in contrast

1656:

Speaking of rowdies, i am pretty sure that every one has seen UFC (which created by Gracies) or any BJJ Youtube video that use a kind of strategy that concentrate on attacking all other Martial Art (Even Judo) which not show over 90% ground techniques, and the advantages of this kind of strategy is

1150:

So, now your reasoning has changed from "Ground fighting in actual streefight being pointless has been debated for ages" to "obvious anti judo BJJ propaganda". Wrong on both counts. I am the contributor who wrote that paragraph, and I am a judoka. Exactly what facts in that paragraph do you believe

I would compare it to shooting with the tip of the toe in football (or soccer if you prefer). Certainly better than nothing, you may even happen to score - but it should NOT illustrate an encyclopedic entry on the subject, if you see what I mean. In my opinion encyclopedias should aspire to present

898:

Thank you; however, I do know what half guard means. I can only reiterate that it's locked incorrectly on the picture. The leg between your opponent's legs should hook your other leg, NOT the other way round. Every instructor will tell you that. If you don't believe me, type "half-guard" on Youtube

320:

Can of worms here - I actually think (but wont go to war over) that the Jiu-Jitsu is part of the proper name rather than just a noun being modified by Brazilian and as such even the double capital J is possible. The article itself discusses the source of the name. However if the change does occur

First of all, the first text is not sourced. I couldn't find one single reference to this martial art being referred to as American Jiu Jitsu or Hawaiian Jiu Jitsu. Second of all, several sources used in this article state that BJJ is based on Judo, not on Japanese Jujutsu, so claiming BJJ added

POV. As to who argues it, BJJ proponents obviously, the Gracies originally as it was them who designed that point scoring system for that reason. They have have good rationale for their arguments, but that is not to say that they are right on balance. The fact is that no-one knows whether they are

This variant is considered incorrect, because such a half-guard is generally easier to open. Also it is limiting your other options - have a look at the picture; the bottom guy cannot base on his right leg in hope to sweep the opponent (and land on the top). It would be possible if it was his LEFT

According to a 1904 "Health and Strength" magazine interview with pioneering London jiujitsu instructor (and challenge wrestler) Sadakazu Uyenishi, both himself and his colleague Yukio Tani were trained by a sensei named Yataro Handa at a dojo in Osaka. The article also contains a portrait-style

1630:

I suggest a criticism section be made on the main article. Althogh BJJ sprouted throughout the world in the 90's, the Gracie family was always seen as a family of rowdies, of people who were always involved with street fighting, confusion, police departments and law suits. They are very far from

It doesn't matter it is less POV or not. The fact remain that "judo rule being safe and crowd pleasing" does not have citation/source. Nor my claim that "judo's ground work restriction is more combat realistic" edit had citation. It makes no difference if you or I are 10th dan in judo or jututu.

I think the validity of this statement depends on how you define "tightly regulated". At the IBJJF tournaments, the gis certainly are checked, but at smaller regional tournaments this may not happen, and you may see mismatched gi top / pants, or strange colours, e.g. red. I don't have personal

I suggest you remove the word "arguably" on the grounds that it's redundant and only distorts your meaning. No one's debating that the Gracies wanted BJJ to be more "practical" than Kodokan Judo. As for your discussion with Vapour, I'd ask this question: What did the Gracies want BJJ to be more
