i lol everytime i see guys like jake shields saying they do "american jiu jitsu". then when they explain the difference and say its the same as bjj but with wrestling added. they might as well just do sambo in that cause

Don't expect Shields to make sense.

I looked up the word. It refers, in one sense, to being a flexible artist. "Flow with the go." If you want to add a nationality to it, fine. But in the raw, JJ denotes the artists that can change from position to position with ease. I guess BJJ would restrict the meaning to submission wrestling, and AJJ would restrict it to "American" (Brazil's in South America) submission wrestling. I don't know---less and less flexible as the defining process goes on.

English translation of the word Jujitsu
Ju-jitsu is a combination of two words - Ju, which can be translated as "soft" or "gentle", and Jitsu, meaning "art". Thus we have 'Gentle Art.' As apposed to Judo's 'Gentle Ways.' However, Japanese is a rich language full of alternative meanings.

Ju, can also translate as, soft, yielding, pliant and flexible. If you analysis the core principle of jujitsu: "force should never be met with force. Jujitsu redirects the energy created by the attack into a counter move, rather than working against the attacking force." Then the words, soft, yielding, pliant and flexible are just as apt as 'gentle' for a description of jujitsu. So the translation to 'Gentle Art' is a very simplistic translation, but one well suited to western language uses.

fedor is the man, his striking technique is so underrated. him and anderson silva are some of the very few you see actually using head movement in mma

tbh




headmovement FTW

Who was it that he trained striking with? I know he was in Holland for awhile, but his coaches at red devil were with the Russian boxing team I heard. Maybe not.

There are a lot of boxers out there. Maybe fedor doesn't resemble a Bernard Hopkins, but he does have head movement.

Obviously, no one in MMA looks like this when punching:



There are certain things an MMA fighter can't do there or he'll be taken down/kicked. But you'll notice a huge difference just in how these guys move their arms.

Overeem sort of has that klitschko thing going. He's the closest. Mousasi has good straight punches. He's getting better too.

he trains his striking with the greatest kickboxer to ever live

Too bad he lost to Sapp. Sometimes sapps and lesners win. Then they spend the next 10 years losing. Hoost spent 10 years winning, like Fedor.
