Well,
Pstevens, that was rubbish really, you sounds like you are reachinf puberty because of the rebel aspect of your post...
what about KANO and MAEDO? Both come from Jiu Jitsu background.
Hano created Judo and MAEDO was his student.
MAEDO taught his version because of the challenges he kept having to 'improve' his MA, he called it Jiu Jitsu by respect.
Anyway, there is no point to argue on arguing on who can trace the best genealogy of BJJ!
The fact is that Japanese JJ is no good as much as Karate ( and a lot of MA) because you cannot 'practice' the full range of techniques the way Judo and BJJ does during sparring.
You might despise the Gracie because they do tend to dodge fights:
They are a lot of good Brazilians BBJ out there and some of them are dam good...
However, it's feel you are biting the hand that fed you.
