Brazilian & British Ju-Jitsu.

Hi, this is my first input to the forum. Probably a question you`ve been asked before.Brazilian & British Ju-Jitsu. What is the difference? Is it that Brazilian is more based on ground work?

yeah, i think you're right , Bee

Do you mean British Ju Jitsu Association as in BJJA and Brazilian as in BJJ. BJJA is a governing body and is to do with Traditional (Japanese) Ju Jitsu (TJJ) , not Brazilian (BJJ).

The difference is more (well alot more) ground work in BJJ.

Have a look at the pics on this site they show the differences in techni.

i am the foremost authority on british jiu jitsu in the country, i have recently copyrighted the name and am now sueing Bee for using it and sl for misinformation

harsh!!!!! whats the score andy?:-)

explain yourself andy............

no

Andy....Calm down. You sound like someone who swings for the fences. You are obviously a member of the BJJA as i am. Damn good organisation i may add. I still think you should explain though.

I am calm.

I really hate the saying 'swing for the fences'

i am obviously a member of the bjja.............................
.............no i'm not.

come on andy.... how was he to know u copyrighted anything.

and usually you would need to know about somones adress and last name to sue them.:-|

ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law

hahaha ill instruct my solicitor to stand by!

BJJA - Boring Ju Jitsu Association.
BJJ - Best Jiu Jitsu

:-p

i would

I dont think you could call it British Jitsu anyway surely its still brazilian!

Unless you incorporate something traditionally and historically British like Morris dancing or shooting Frenchmen with longbows.

I know of someone who had many years with the BJJA but has now gone to the WJJF to learn what he thought he already had learnt. When he has done that he could try the BJA and actually learn how to throw or BJJ and actually learn how to groundfight.

It can be a long process of enlghtenment:-))

Steve do you know of any Judo clubs in liverpool or around that area?

Not just Morris dancing, have you seen 'English Martial Arts' by Terry Brown? I think it's published by Saxon Press.

As for British ju Jitsu (copyright: Andy), does this cover regional British forms of JJ, like those from towns in north England (Crewe Jitsu)? Is there an Australian version (Didgeri doo jitsu?) or a Dublin-based culinary version (Irish stew jitsu)?

I thought the Australian form was called "Kangaroo jitsu", mostly kicks I believe.

or even g'day blue jitsu
