	Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position from which to strike or submit an attacker.
		BJJ can be trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition.
		BJJ includes many techniques to throw or tackle opponents to the ground, which are difficult to resist, even for people who are trained in their countermeasures.

	BJJ: Toronto Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		BJJ answers the questions of how to deal with someone who is punching and/or kicking you, what to do to take someone down, how to react if someone takes you down, and what to do once you are on the ground.
		The object of BJJ is to use technique involving the use of leverage and positioning of one’s body to effectively control your opponent so that they cannot attack you, but you can attack them.
		What was astonishing was the ease in which the BJJ practitioner was able to negate the ability of the other martial arts stylists’ use of strikes by simply closing the distance.

		BJJ is a little more obnoxious, to say the least, and it draws in people who wish to fight and who like to dress up like race cars.
		BJJ guys could learn to behave a little better, it's true, but even back in "the day" of Judo, back when Judo-man Kimura beat Gracie, there were a lot of thugs doing Judo - even Kimura and his pals were known to get into trouble at bars and into knife fights.
		BJJ would be a lot more worthwhile studying though, instead of Judo, to defend oneself in a street fight (allegedly) only because it is one of the 'jitsu's'.

		BJJ has more focus on the submission and judo has more focus on the throw because of the sport aspect of scoring points.

		BJJ self-defense techniques are crap as it is the same as any traditional Japanese jiu-jitsu, Steve Segal wanna be aikido sh*t.
		BJJ self-defense is crap because it is always trained with a compliant partner.
		If a person shows you the Bjj headlock selfdefense series of techniques THAN the logical and most practical way to test AND practice that particular technique is to have someone put you in a headlock with realistic force and you escape it using that technique.

		A hallmark of BJJ is that it is constantly evolving and improving to solve the real problems discovered by the competitors and instructors of the art.
		Second, the ability of the BJJ fighter to close the distance, literally attaching themselves to their opponent thereby reducing the larger opponent's ability to use their advantage.
		As time passes, BJJ instructors have been diversifying their training to include "no-gi" training (in street clothes like shorts and a tee shirt), in order to improve the realism of the training.

		For example, in the 1990's Roberto "Gordo" Correa, a BJJ fl belt, injured one of his knees, and to protect his leg he spent a lot of practice time in the half-guard position.
		Besides the immediate impact of an explosion of interest in BJJ across the world (particularly in the US and Japan), the lasting impact of Royce's early UFC dominance is that almost every successful MMA fighter now includes BJJ as a significant portion of their training.
		Also, many dedicated BJJ students are also interested in MMA competition, and attempt to practice their techniques without a gi, and sometimes with adding striking from boxing or Muay Thai.

		I don't think that BJJ is bad, I just think that it lacks many elements of training that are found in what I am referring to as 'martial arts'.
		Anyway, I'd say to ditch that BJJ place for its high and mighty attitude, it wouldn't help you as much as a friendly BJJ place would be as far as encouraging other arts.
		BJJ should not be your number one choice for physically practicing a certain philosophy.

		So for that judoka BJJ could be his first exposure to striking techniques, and it certainly will probably fill a ground fighting drill gap (judo already has many of the ground fighting techniques, but generally lack the strategy, combinations, and drills).
		Keep in mind that my BJJ instructor was not only a Barra Gracie instructor and competitor, but he also holds fl belt rank in karate and judo in addition to BJJ.
		Bjj and MMA is going to awaken many ppl to start training seriously or be run over.

	Martial Arts Planet - BJJ Elitism
		BJJ has much to offer, indeed, should anyone have he opportunity to train in it, they should do so.
		So, in conclusion, I would say that it's the attitude of some of its practitioners that is suspect, not the system itself, as long as it made clear that the Ground is the last resort and not the first port of call.
		BJJ and MT are popular because they do so well in events like UFC and Pride, and they do well because both styles are almost exlusively geared towards unarmed one on one combat.

	Judo Article - Is BJJ Better Than Judo? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		A comment recently made was "...that judo's biggest weakness in newaza is the lack of attention paid to positional grappling." I think that virtually everyone who trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can agree with this statement. Unfortunately, it's wrong.
		An equivalent statement by Judoka might be "BJJ's biggest weakness is their 'standup' game..." And although most Judoka would probably subscribe to it, that statement is just as wrong.
		But learning from each other is a far cry from believing that the respective arts have 'holes' that can only be filled from the skills of the other art.
