This is a rare and exceptionally good video on the topic. More accurate than the majority. Just one clarification, although the Gracie's claim they've never heard about Judo until the 50´s when it was introduced in Brazil, it is well established that Judo was introduzed in Brazil and South America between 1910 and 1920, including by Maeda himself.
I love how the Gracies never mention Maeda's family,students and descendants still live in Brazil and operate Maeda's Judo gym in belem Brazil. They act like he taught them and disappeared like a ninja.
@@ulysses-pact many would call it that, correct. But also Judo, as Kano stressed that his form of Ju-Jutsu should be referred as Judo. In reality, Judo is just reformed systemic Ju-Jutsu, which in itself was an umbrella term containing various grappling mostly unweaponized disciplines. The term Ju-Jutsu was made popular worldwide (especially in the West) by Judo and Kano themselves. The word Jiu-Jitsu is a failed and early attempt to westernize the word Ju-Jutsu. Contrarily to what BJJ pop culture believes, BJJ comes directly from Judo, with no contact to real original Ju-Jutsu. Judo is actually closer to that, as it was a conscious effort to revive and structure Ju-Jutsu, Just as Aikido did, in a very different way obviously. The only connection between BJJ and Jiu-Jitsu, is Judo. Moreover, BJJ is not the first attempt of removing tachi-waza (standing) from Judo and focusing mostly in ne-waza (ground). Other forms of Judo, like 'Kosen' did similarly, except never fully removed tachi-waza, they kept it and train it, just don't use it as much. Kosen looks like BJJ, where for several decades you see 'de la rivas', 'berimbolos' etc. For cultural and geographical reasons, they never called it anything else besides Judo. BJJ calling itself Jiu-Jitsu is a mere 'lost in translation' issue combined with the Gracie's ego. Hélio insisted in calling his "superior art" Gracie's Jiu-Jitsu as opposed to just "Jiu-Jitsu" or 'Kano's Jiu-Jitsu' that they learnt, oblivious of the huge gap towards original the Ju-Jutsu, previously worked and filled by Kano's lifework. One detail people keep overlooking, is that Hélio learned and improved this art by watching only...While he used this for bragging, If we actually drop the emotions for a second and get rational, we can assess how well can anyone learn BJJ or Judo just by watching in a short period of time... It's no surprise that what Hélio learned was limited, with no (or limited) knowledge of techniques later named after judokas they would meet, like 'Kimura', 'Ezequiel' etc. Also very clear and expectable, was the low proficiency Hélio had on his feet, not only from actual video proof, but from logic. All judokas know that tachi-waza is much harder to learn and truly requires a lifetime to master, while ne-waza is generally a faster aspect to develop. Hélio, then took and remixed a couple of Kano's narratives (learned through Maeda and Carlos) and sold the idea he himself was small and fragile, and therefore he had to improve the art by removing inefficient techniques. While Kano never said he improved Ju-Jutsu for himself because he was small (he was real small, not like Hélio), he removed, borrowed (from Japan and abroad) and invented techniques for sake of efficiency, education and sparring (this is well documented, and not just word sold). On the other hand, Hélio's superior art originally, and gradually more so, became a one-on-one-thug tool, where all the efforts (techniques and rules) were to keep the fight always on the ground. We can still see this from the rules today, where a perfect potentially deadly throw is worth as much as a sweep or knee on belly, there is no martial fundament to this. I love both Judo and BJJ, I'm an active practitioner for many years. I just feel that BJJ pop culture is sometimes mischievous or at least oblivious of it's History.
+Catalin Denuve Thanks. I believe that sometimes Aikido people can be quite conservative, despite the fact that O'Sensei gathered influence from various martial arts and made changes himself. I agree that it is important to respect and learn from each other
The Gracie’s didn’t invent anything, Two books that should prove to you the vastness of ground fighting in Japan Game of Jiujitsu 1906 by Yukio Tani (who was already doing challenge matches like his instructor Tanabe) and Traditional Jujitsu groundwork by Simon Palmer
@@JEFFMAN90 kosen judo had closed guard, open guard, de la riva, rubber, Gogoplata, leg locks, same as catch wrestling ‘master Helio’ didn’t even know what aa triangle choke was nor an ude garami when he got destroyed by kimura he named the moved after him which was an already common use in catch wrestling and judo. When Catch wrestler Rufino Dos Santos beat Carlos Gracie they beat him up with Weapons. Gracies lost plenty of times and they rebranded the same moves and sold it to you for over 200 bucks a month.
@@JEFFMAN90 im actually doing a video soon on all the moves that Brazilians invented that aren’t already in other grappling arts… well it’s not many lol most are just slight variations of the existing.
I was wondering since you did a Brief History of BJJ, Would love a Brief history of these two arts. Luta Livre (A Rival Grappling Style of BJJ) and Shooto.
It was very good, but Kano did not like ground fighting, and famously said "Human beings were meant't to walk, not crawl". It was only after until Tanabe's Jiu Jitsu beat the Kano's students were Judoka where inspired to learn more ground fighting or taught by Tanabe directly. Even after Maeda left, ground fighting became more popular, and people like Oda did research and training outside of Judo to learn more ground fighting. However, even though Oda insisted to make judo a "50% to 50%" style, Kano resisted and all but put an end to Kosen rules by 1925, banning guard pulling, leg locks, etc. Maeda might have waived the Judo flag but his ground fighting was neither from Judo or Kano.
That is an unfortunate desperate tale told around the BJJ community, started with the Gracie's... That resulted in the devolpment of a subculture which hates and disaknowledges Kano and his reinvention of Jiu-Jitsu as the main lineage. Without Kano and Judo, there would only be the leftovers of traditional styles of Jiu-Jitsu that had been most lost in time and medieval in both application (belic) and sophistication (untechnical). Maeda is only known to have been taught and trained by Kano and Tomita, noone else. The fact that Tanabe had good Ne-waza (all his Judo was good, including his Tachi-waza, being able to throw very good judoka) and beated some Kodokan judoka, does not mean his style is superior, it just means he was an extraordinay athlete. Just remember, Tanabe was an expert practitioner at one style of Jiu-Jitsu, while Kano was an educator who studied several styles (some 3 out of dozens!), reinterpreted it, compiled it, and systemized its core principles, phylosphy, practicing methods and mechanics by applying modern scientific principles of physical activity sciences, randori (aka real sparring) being one of them. Just compare the traditional forms of Jiu-Jitsu with post-Kano Jiu-Jitsu (olympic, freestyle, kosen, sambo or BJJ), the pattern is self-explanatory. Let the Gracie's hatred tales go... I love BJJ, I practice it and I will do it so for the rest of my life, but that subculture of hate against its roots is just shameful.
Physical Activity Science That's actually true what he says about Tanabe defeating Kano's Judokas through the use of newaza. This occurred in the 1890's and also at the turn of the 20th century. Evidence even points to Jigoro Kano's autobiography: "Mind over Muscle" that Newaza was used by a few Jujutsu schools to defeat Kodokan Judo.
Physical Activity Science I will provide the evidence that Newaza from a few Jujutsu schools was used to defeat the Kodokan Judokas. It's on pages 28-32 of Kano's autobiography : Mind Over Muscle
Kosen Judo started in 1898-1945 and continued holding championships from 1950 to present day, so what is this non-sense you say that it all but put an end to Kosen Judo? lol here some tournaments from the 70s-80s and 90s etc etc ruclips.net/user/NEWAWA1999videos?flow=grid&view=0&sort=da And heres one from 2016... ruclips.net/video/aVzCffoy5JA/видео.html
+MoistCat I'll look into it! Thanks for the idea. I'm also planning to do a short history of all martial arts, that will cover some greco roman too. But I agree that it should deserve it's own video too
Hyoneff Gruñón I started off in Karate I moved on to Muay Thai and then started aikido and judo. I left Muay Thai to focus more on aikido and judo. It was the worst mistake I made in my martial arts journey neglecting striking for 3 years definitely had on impact on my striking. I now train mma & a form of Street self defence
In English gentleman sonds more like the gentle-way/gentle-path/gentle-art (jiu jutsu/judo), while in portuguese br is "cavalheiro" how we translate gentleman, the literal translation of "cavalheiro" gets more close to "knight" than "gentleman". That's why jiujitsu means more like surf stuff to us than gentleman stuff i think, maybe Budo/Bushido is closest to us of the concept of gentleman stuff. OSS!
I like BJJ and plan to go back and do it again when I reach my black belt in aikido but the one thing I despise in the BJJ/MMA community is when people say "BJJ is the best and it can beat anything" or "it has been proven to be the most effective martial art in the world" yes it works and has some great techniques in it and yes it is effective but it is not the most effective art in the world no art is the most effective art its all down to you on how effective you can make them.
usually those are the same guys who fail to grasp the essence of jiujitsu... the "gentle" part. instead, they use strength over technique to prove their "technique's" effectiveness.
Maybe because the focus on BJJ has always been to match yourself against a resisting opponent, while Aikido - and many others - have different foci. If you train to fight every day, you're going to be better than someone who does katas most of the time
youre right there is no such thing as the best martial art in the world, they all have their strengths and weaknesses, but i would disagree that bjj is the most effective martial art though. when it comes to most effective martial art, mma would be. mma trains you in both standup and grappling where bjj mostly consist of just grappling. mma is the most well rounded form of martial arts out of all the stand alone martial arts.
BJJ is only good when the fight is 1 on 1. These days, that is not always the case which can make BJJ useless. Know so many people who were good at BJJ and got the crap kicked out of them, because the guy they were fighting had friends who jumped in. Everyone in BJJ seems to gloss over this weekness. Great video, Tomiki-Aki-Jujitsu attempts to bring jujitsu and old judo back into one Art. Along with kendo. A great read about this is Aikido: Tradition and the Competitive Edge by Fumiaki Shishida.
Hey Ham_thatguy, it took a long time, but here it is! ruclips.net/video/tvQf1YYmTqc/видео.html . A video about Muay Thai. Enjoy! And let me know if you like it
By the way, I forgot to write in the video that you were one of the two people who suggested the video, but you are now officially in the description. Also I'm planning to make a video about boxing too
Love BJJ and much prefer it to Judo nowadays due to the rule changes in Judo, however I hate the ego and the Gracie cult that comes with it, I respect the Gracies for their contribution of spreading the art but I hate how they make it out as if they had taken the art of Judo (then called Jiu Jitsu) and completely reinvented it, im not saying that the Gracies had nothing to do with the changing the art but techniques are always going to be refined and 'Reinvented' if there is a more practical way to do so for the individual. In fact Maeda was much more focused on ground technique than most Judo practitioners due to being used to training and competing with larger catch wrestlers, which likely means the Jiu Jitsu/Judo taught to the Gracies was a lot more ground oriented. Im not saying that Heilo had nothing to do with changing the art but to claim you had completely reinvented an art and slap your name/nationality on it is ego driven madness.
Judo was already mostly ground orientated from 1898-1925..It has nothing to do with Maeda's dabblings in Catch, also in Catch you're not allowed to fight off your back as its considered a pin even with your guard...lol
The toughest man alive by Nuri Bunusawa. It’s the biography of Mitsuyo Maeda. BJJ has an extremely strong influence of catch wrestling incorporated into it.
Sascha Griffiths I just finished it and I’ve come to the conclusion that a lot of it is sensationalized mixed with historical accuracy but it’s a good to source to extract information from
Not to be THAT guy or a know it all but its been disproven by Maeda's descendants that he taught Carlos Gracie. When it was actually Maeda's Student Donatos Pires that taught Carlos and only for a few years up to blue belt. And HELIO GRACIE was not a frail sickly boy before Jiujitsu, that is a lie as explained by Reila Gracie and with photos of Helio Gracie in his private school as the head of his swimming and rowing team.....encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTHk1TQk-PQ9Y7-Yu4BLXibXQ4zC22Uedu-9Ex5nv7QsY1-HNmH
It's just my experience in person and on the internet it seems that all the whiny 15-20 year olds that think they and the art they practice is the best of all time, nothing can beat it, it's the answer to every problem that anyone can have at anytime. No humility whatsoever. I hate to see that in the martial arts community.
Very useful in it's sport role. If any of you out there are considering BJJ training in your future know that one it is almost entirely sport focused and two it attracts douchebags like moths to flame. Think of it as an online session of Call of Duty buy in real life, know that up front going in. For a couple of years there Tapout and Affliction shirts were the official douchebag uniform.
+AKlover in my experience it is also the truth. just go to any Aikido video and you will find all sorts of insults from jbb people. i also work with two guys that practice bjj and they always tell me the other art forms do not work. i will never take bjj because of this disrespect.
+Jack Sellers The Martial Arts are a set of tools, they are thinking about it in the wrong terms. Bring a novice or total rookie in to your game and force him to play your game by your rules and virtually without exception they will look bad and inferior. I grasp the concepts of Aiikido because of a couple of years training in traditional Ju Jutsu. There is A LOT OF OVERLAP. Aikido is one tool and IME it should never be the only tool. You need strikes and you need a variety of techniques to engage and dispose of a threat quickly so you can transition to another threat.
+AKlover yes you are absolutely correct. That is why I take classes in Kendo Aikido and kenpo/jujitsu. the military has taught me that the more different styles you use the more tools you have in your toolbox. also I found a good Aikido School that uses randori and Open Mat.
BJJ is just NeWaza without a time restriction and a few tweaks in the rules. The Kimura is named after Masahiko Kimura who smashed Hélio Gracie with a gyaku ude-garami.
BJJ is a copied jiu jitsu from Japan and you'll notice that there's no Japanese jiu jitsu in the UFC because the Gracie family owns most the UFC Carlos Gracie copied all of his moves from a Japanese guy
Johnathan Grey Brazil has to do with it as the particular style evolved here, brought by the Japanese. We're the country with the biggest Japanese community outside of Japan in the whole world (yes, I'm for real, just google it)
It is unfair to comment that it is "theft", because Brazilians do not say that Jiu Jitsu arose in Brazil, but BJJ is a strand of Japanese Jiu Jitsu, mainly because there are differences between one practice and another one.
@@daxmafesi it is not stolen. It is different variation of Jiu-Jitsu. Judo were known as Kano juijitsu. Gracie learn Kano juijitsu and developed his own style Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. People today learn Gracie Jiu-Jitsu more than Kano Jiu-Jitsu or judo cause Gracie Jiu-Jitsu emphasize on ground while judo on takedown. Why need to learn judo when you have wrestling? Wrestling too focus on takedown. Even Olympic banned wrestling move for takedown in judo Olympic cause it is too op. This is what you called evolution. From juijitsu. An umbrella term. Evolve into Kano juijitsu or judo into Gracie juijitsu. Even today juijitsu is evolving with no GI juijitsu or combat juijitsu. If you want to blame Brazilian for stealing japanese juijitsu. You have to blame japanese for being immigrant in Brazil. This cross-cultural don't need to be racist.

Opening the Closed Guard by Robert Drysdale.
The Japanese established a lot in Brazil.
Can't wait for Krav Maga brief history
@@shahed-1367 Here it is: a nazi antisemit writing shit...
Not to be THAT guy or a know it all but its been disproven by Maeda's descendants that he taught Carlos Gracie. When it was actually Maeda's Student Donatos Pires that taught Carlos and only for a few years up to blue belt.
And HELIO GRACIE was not a frail sickly boy before Jiujitsu, that is a lie as explained by Reila Gracie and with photos of Helio Gracie in his private school as the head of his swimming and rowing team.....encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTHk1TQk-PQ9Y7-Yu4BLXibXQ4zC22Uedu-9Ex5nv7QsY1-HNmH
All you need Is Nisei Bujutsu & Bjj you'll have Bushido way! Osu!
Great great martial art, not so great community sadly.
Can you tell me more?
It's just my experience in person and on the internet it seems that all the whiny 15-20 year olds that think they and the art they practice is the best of all time, nothing can beat it, it's the answer to every problem that anyone can have at anytime. No humility whatsoever. I hate to see that in the martial arts community.
SerDrinksAlot/Acana Garrow I’ll recommend you to stop by a GJJ Academy and see for yourself how humble our art is! We are family and welcome anyone!
Very useful in it's sport role. If any of you out there are considering BJJ training in your future know that one it is almost entirely sport focused and two it attracts douchebags like moths to flame. Think of it as an online session of Call of Duty buy in real life, know that up front going in. For a couple of years there Tapout and Affliction shirts were the official douchebag uniform.
+AKlover well that's pretty mean spirited
fozzit In my experience it is the truth,
+AKlover in my experience it is also the truth. just go to any Aikido video and you will find all sorts of insults from jbb people. i also work with two guys that practice bjj and they always tell me the other art forms do not work. i will never take bjj because of this disrespect.
+Jack Sellers The Martial Arts are a set of tools, they are thinking about it in the wrong terms. Bring a novice or total rookie in to your game and force him to play your game by your rules and virtually without exception they will look bad and inferior. I grasp the concepts of Aiikido because of a couple of years training in traditional Ju Jutsu. There is A LOT OF OVERLAP. Aikido is one tool and IME it should never be the only tool. You need strikes and you need a variety of techniques to engage and dispose of a threat quickly so you can transition to another threat.
+AKlover yes you are absolutely correct. That is why I take classes in Kendo Aikido and kenpo/jujitsu. the military has taught me that the more different styles you use the more tools you have in your toolbox. also I found a good Aikido School that uses randori and Open Mat.
Japanese jit jitsu has most of the ground set up for bjj, judo is and omlypic sport thats watwr down and drawn focus away from jit jitsu
BJJ is just NeWaza without a time restriction and a few tweaks in the rules. The Kimura is named after Masahiko Kimura who smashed Hélio Gracie with a gyaku ude-garami.
When you here jiu jitso it all originate at japan
Why, oh why, do you americans pronounce the J in Portuguese in the way it’s pronounced in Spanish?
He's not American LoL
Jiu Jitsu is japanese, not portuguese.
@@philosophiaentis5612 *Brazilian
BJJ is a copied jiu jitsu from Japan and you'll notice that there's no Japanese jiu jitsu in the UFC because the Gracie family owns most the UFC Carlos Gracie copied all of his moves from a Japanese guy
Judo copied Japanese Jiu Jitsu as well so whats your point
So much is left out here...
the name is wrong it should be called brazilian newaza
😄
It started from the samurai. Brazil had nothing to do with it. BJJ is basically a stolen system from the samurai.
Johnathan Grey Brazil has to do with it as the particular style evolved here, brought by the Japanese. We're the country with the biggest Japanese community outside of Japan in the whole world (yes, I'm for real, just google it)
Watch a japanese jiu jitsu championship and you'll notice 10000 differences, bjj is tottaly different
It is unfair to comment that it is "theft", because Brazilians do not say that Jiu Jitsu arose in Brazil, but BJJ is a strand of Japanese Jiu Jitsu, mainly because there are differences between one practice and another one.
Luiz Maia read the book “Game of Jujitsu” 1906 from Yukio Tani available free online and you’ll notice it’s the same, stolen from the Japanese
@@daxmafesi it is not stolen. It is different variation of Jiu-Jitsu. Judo were known as Kano juijitsu. Gracie learn Kano juijitsu and developed his own style Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. People today learn Gracie Jiu-Jitsu more than Kano Jiu-Jitsu or judo cause Gracie Jiu-Jitsu emphasize on ground while judo on takedown. Why need to learn judo when you have wrestling? Wrestling too focus on takedown. Even Olympic banned wrestling move for takedown in judo Olympic cause it is too op. This is what you called evolution. From juijitsu. An umbrella term. Evolve into Kano juijitsu or judo into Gracie juijitsu. Even today juijitsu is evolving with no GI juijitsu or combat juijitsu. If you want to blame Brazilian for stealing japanese juijitsu. You have to blame japanese for being immigrant in Brazil. This cross-cultural don't need to be racist.
Gracie Jujutsu is a business mark, much better articles on the market.
Kazushi Sakuraba and Matt Hughes but the shit out of theme.
Every fight was set up
