i was also wondering on the influence of catch and other arts. we know maeda had influences from other arts during his time travelling and fighting. and kimura had catch influences (unsure if that was later though). but the influences of other arts and experience in challenge matches on the gracies (except Rolls, who made the current form of BJJ more all rounded in grappling from training with wrestlers and Sambaists) As for other BJJ lineages and crosstraining Helio: - Maeda = Gracie and Franca (I'm assuming most of you know the gracie and Franca story?) - Takeo Yano = Non-maeda BJJ lineage teaching in the Caera Region. absorbed into Judo, Rodarte Correa, or GJJ, Jurandir Moura. Only ONE Lineage reamining; Master Francisco Sá. http://www.bjjheroes.com/bjj-fighters/master-francisco-sa - Geo Omori = Non-Maeda, Apparently took over Franca's training and taught Carlos Pereira (who was absorbed into Judo, but teaches his style of judo to BJJ players still) http://www.global-training-report.com/cartas.htm - Ono Brothers - one choked out George Gracie, the other lost to George. Absorbed into judo later but when they first fought Helio they were teaching Jiu Jitsu in Brazil, in the Sao Paulo region away from le Gracies. A student called Octavio had strong skills enough from Ono for George to rank him instructor in under a year of GJJ training http://www.bjjheroes.com/bjj-fighters/octavio-de-almeida-senior DARK HORSE: Ivan Gomes.
My two cents: Zbyszko was more successful as a Greco-Roman guy. He was a Catch guy the same way Hackenschmidt was- just barely. Competed under CACC rules a few times, but didn't really develop the skills associated with that form of wrestling, like guys like Gotch, Stecher, etc. did. Also, I suspect you've seen this before, but also that it's relavent to the discussion: http://13thtemple.wordpress.com/jiu...do-fadda-nova-uniao-and-non-gracie-jiu-jitsu/
yeah read that article before. i have a friend who trains under ronny lis, a fadda lineage. Yano, ono and omori are interesting as hell. BJJ under a completely unique non maeda lineages.
yeah. i should have said "famous catch wrestler by relation". his brother was a pretty impressive catch player with specific tactics into his fights. although cheap tactic with gama, fights a pehlwan and decides to hug the ground. anyway enough off topic: apparently Yano's student, Francisco Sá, is often credited under carlos gracie (im guessing that was his latest promotion or something), but he's a redbelt and is originally from Yano and BJJHeroes still lists that
Hm... there's a LOT of info on wiki at the moment on Maeda... only 3 years under his belt, i'm sure they improvised a lot. thank god HOLY CRAP -Virgílio, Stanlei (2002) (in Portuguese). Conde Koma – O invencível yondan da história. Editora Átomo. Hm... having a hard time finding this school. Also very interesting: http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.corporesanoacademia.com.br%2Fhistoria-do-jiu-jitsu-brasileiro%2F&act=url
although i've found some acknowledged stuff on Yano, i cant find any on Bulison Osmar or Soishiro Satake. Ivan Gomes is said to have been of a BJJ lineage, Gracie's speculate a gracie. Soishiro Satake settled in brazil but i dont know if he taught
if takeo Yano/Iano learnt from Hashine/Hajine Isogai then that would place him from the Kansai region and the Botukukai - meaning his lineage would be judo through kano, although the Botukukai does have various arts taught there other than judo. This link shows a nice picture of all those who joined Judo from other arts including Tanabe of fusen ryu and others. not relevant to BJJ lineages but it was it had a nice picture of some great fighters. The joiners of judo

Hm... it seems that there are more maeda students, one particularly involed in the gracie development: Jacyntho/Jacintho Ferro http://www.ibjjf.org/mentor.htm http://www.bjjheroes.com/featured/oswaldo-gracie http://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/tempo/article/viewFile/2315/1790 Interesting! Maeda taught everything as he learnt it from he fighting experience! It seems the gracie's were involved in circus fights long before jiu jitsu came in! there's also reference to Donatao Pires, apparently another more senior maeda student, had a fall out with carlos and stopped training with the gracie, saying to newspapers that what the gracies learnt was at best "an incomplete version of maedas system" yay for gracie improv!
Thank you! I think it's important that everyone understand that bjj in its current form ALL links back to Gracie's and the quality and quantity of students tthey produced and the connections and orgs that formed from that
Bro, last time I remember you werent training in BJJ anymore, But running a rolling club instead, why the facination with Us?
Just out of interest! Stopped training all together. Just Olympic lifting now. Also thought it would be good to have a thread to refer noobs to and to help win internet arguments. It's hard to find a complete listing of bjj lineages.
My worries exactly! Will probably get back to it over Xmas. My o-lift schedule clashes with bjj classes at the moment, pushing for less embarrassing maxes, but hopefully I'll make class next semester Still insane to see that bjj has non-maeda lineages!
Think I'll probably make. MAP article. I wanna draw up a flow chart first. Will help settle the BJJ is just judo, the Gracie's made bjj, bjj isn't jiu jitsu, who is this guy who didn't train under a Gracie arguments and questions. The bjj sub forum will probably get insanely boring though.
