What do we call ourselves?

[Stevebjj]

This is ridiculous. I'm at one year of training in BJJ and it occurred to me the other day that I don't even know what a dude who trains is BJJ is called. A guy who trains in Judo is a Judoka or Judo Player. You've got Karateka, Ninjers ( ;) ), sorry Ninja, wrestlers, boxers, etc.

Anyone know what the technically correct term is?

[CKava]

A glutton for punishment :D. Dunno actually it's never come up though I think steering clear of a Bjj-er would be a good idea.

[TheMightyMcClaw]

Isn't the Portuguese term Jiujitsueiro? I feel like I've heard that before. And it has a nice ring to it.

[Scarlet Mist]

Bad Motherfizzle?

Bad Motherfizzle?

lol

[KempoFist]

damned noobs....

Technical term would be "Jiu-Jitsuka" but that's ghey.

Acceptable terms are:
BJJer (when typing)
Jiu-Jitsu Player
Jiu-Jitsu Fighter
Submission Fighter
Submission Artist
Grappler
Human Anaconda
Monkey Choker
"The Best"

"monkey choker" sounds like a bad euphemism for masturbation.

Either your equipment is VERY oddly shaped or you just have a sick mind :P


Oh and Pei...you should refer to yourself as a Boojjer. Note the double J.

[MatsunoCj]

BJJer is the most common ive seen typed and probably grappler for spoken, i dunno though or u could go with Lily's Boojjer

[fanatical]

Luchadore ? ;D

jiujiteiro.

i mostly stick to bjjer. sometimes jiujitsu player.

[fanatical]

I refer to myself as "doing jiu-jitsu" if they inquire further I say "Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.. it's like Judo.. only with more wrestling on the ground". I then more often than not get referred to as being "a jiu-jitsu guy" Which I feel is appropriate :D

[Atharel]

jiujiteiro.

yeah, it's jiujiteiro.

[Johnno]

I thought it was 'nutrider'? :confused:

[Taffyleigh]

Is that what distinguishes it from the ninja? I've noticed that people in that forum refer to the Bujinkan as "the Booj." Which would mean that a Boojer was a ninjutsu practitioner, yeah?

[Davey Bones]

I don't like anything which makes real or imagined reference to the Bujinkan.

[EternalRage]

jiujitsuist

[Shiho-Nage]

Its obvious that you're known as a "BJ practicioner".

At least that's what I call you.

[Scarlet Mist]

Ahahhahahahhahahhahaha.

Nice :cool:

[Scarlet Mist]

That's not gay. No, that's not. That's very, very gay.

[PASmith]

How about...

"Winners"?
"Helio's little helpers"?
"Rickson's helpers"?

[Davey Bones]

That's not gay. No, that's not. That's very, very gay.

"ghey" doesn't begin to describe those last two. Those are gayer than Big Gay Al, Elton John, and Michael Jackson rolled into one.

How about...

"Winners"?
"Helio's little helpers"?
"Rickson's helpers"?

"Helio's little helpers". LOL. But I'm not a Rickson, I'm a Royler and Machado , thank you very much ;)

I usually go off on a tangent on how JJ is like Judo only a little different, which is why I seldom get that back. Not that anyone can ever pronounce JJ though. It's mostly "yiyitsoo?" It seems it's also very easy to get a reputation as a Ninja or Samurai.
