the Brazilian Judo thing was just an aside, it makes no difference to me if they prefer to call it jiu-jitsu.

it seems that you want me to make this assertion so you can have something to argue against when i've explicitly stated several times i believe no such thing. the statements Tanto or i have made about judo newaza and bjj are in no way shape or form derogatory toward bjj.

I've heard it said (I think it was Michel Thomas) that "English is French, badly pronounced."
