Would we consider 10th pjj Brazilian jj or American jj, because the Brazilians got juijitsu from the Japanese and after modification came up with bjj. And they dont call what they do japenes jj. So would it be safe to say that after master Eddie learned bjj and then modified it and being from America, that what we are doing is American jj. Just thinking.
It's not American, it's "10th Planet" Jiu Jitsu dude, an offstem of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu without the Gi.
Anunnakian Jiu Jitsu ...repping nibiru, not earth.
I get your logic...and I would consider it more of an Aemerican Hybrid...with Brazilian and Japanese roots.Quote:

10th Planet Jiu Jitsu is no-gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
BJJ has tons of variations on it's own. Even traditional BJJ gi schools vary in their adoption of various techniques from other grappling arts. If you go around and train at various gyms, you will notice this immediately. In theory that would make all BJJ programs "hybrids."
Eddie has been quoted as saying that "10th Planet Jiu Jitsu is anything that works at a high level for no-gi." Don't forget that Eddie got his BJJ Black Belt from JJ Machado in the gi and began adopting BJJ techniques for no-gi because he wanted to continue to see the dominance of BJJ in MMA. Eddie did all of this for his love of Jiu Jitsu.
Thank you Master Eddie!
I totally agree Jason, but I think it we are seeing the next evolution in martial arts and I'm glad to be a part of ... and Jason btw, I'm a big fan, one day I hope to meet you and the rest of the west coast guys
But Eddie is a Mexican American.
Hispanjitsu?
Jake Shields already coined the phrase "American Jiu jitsu" I think he even has a tatooQuote:

how about the godfather of american jj..sounds more badd ass
10 planet jiujitsu =NO GI 4 LIFE , its the sensation thats tapping out the nation !
I think American JJ has a better ring to it than something that rings of Sumerian / Akkadian / Babylonian myth. You make it Babylonian Jiu jitsu, someone will invent Persian Jiu Jitsu and beat you down. ;) Cyrus the Great ftw.
Little history joke for ya...

Thanks Frank. You're right. It is definitely evolution and an interesting topic of conversation. I am glad to be a part of it as well. It is very exciting.Quote:

I think for 10th Planet to qualify as American Jiu-Jitsu, it would need to get to a point where people from outside the US would have to assume an American doing Jiu-Jitsu is doing 10th Planet. As in, if you meet a Brazilian, and he says he does Jiu-Jitsu, it's gonna be Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, as opposed to Traditional/Japanese JJ.
They used to just call it Gracie JJ before the UFC exposed it to everyone, right?
