How can I respectful​ly raise concerns about class difficulty level/teac​hing style at my club? this is a great question, one i think almost everyone who has been in martial arts for a long time has had to deal with. |

Has Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu been recognized as a form of Jiu-Jitsu in Japan? this pretty much sums it up! great answer. as a practitioner of both, i must say, they are pretty much completely different arts, I cannot see a reputable school of either recognizing grades from the other. That would be like a tkd practitioners rank being recognized by an Aikido school. |

Do all schools of BJJ come from the same root? your answer is good! i just wanted to make it a little more clear that not all bjj is from the gracies, a very common misconception. |

Do all schools of BJJ come from the same root? all bjj came from Maeda, but it didn't all stem from the gracies after that. there are several branches straight from Maeda, which a lot of people seem to forget/ not realize. The Nova União team is a prime example of that. |

Dropping weight before a MMA fight mma fights have set weight classes, there is no 5lbs higher. the classes tend to be 125, 135, 145, 155, 170, 185, 205, 205+ so weight cutting / maintaining is a huge part of the game. |
