In japan, many still refer BJJ as Brazirian no Judo [Brazil's judo].

I asked a japanese Judo teacher and he said that "many japanese don't see BJJ as an sd art like jujutsu, it's more like a sport like Judo that's why many call it Brazilian Judo"..

But I think, that after the success of the Gracie's the Judo fedaration wants a part in it by saying "The Gracie's learnt Judo from Maeda". But we also know that Maeda was sent to S.America by Kano due to the fact he was radically changing Judo focus of nage-waza to ne-waza.

that's my 100 yen

At first the Kodokan looked just as Brazilian JuJitsu did. He change the focus to more throwing and sweeping because it looked good in the Olyimpics. At least thats what my book Mastering Jujitsu says.

Well I daresay he explained it properly the first time, but I'll repeat it.

According to him, a Judo teacher who is Japanese told him that many other Japanese still consider BJJ to be Brazilian Judo, which is pronounced "Burajiria no juudou" in Japanese.

LOL

Guess I'm just enjoying the pronunciation guides!

Try talking to Japanese people who have little to none English vocal experience.

I remember once talking to a Japanese business man. .
"It isu, da time fo da jarpanesu to paw-n da maketo"
[It's time for the japanese to pawn the market].
I broke out like a rabies ridden hyena.

Back to topic.

BJJ people actually consider themselves related to Judoka's more so than traditional Jujitsu forms. If you can find a Kosen Judo school, you will find they do lots of ne waza
