The Original Anti-Grapple?

[Nanaya]

heh, that second BB link has an article about speed hitting and how to hit 11 times under a second.

[Holy Moment]

I think this is Bill Wallace's original UFC article:

It turned out to be better than I would expect. Also, check out this hilarious piece-of-shit advertisement for UFC II that they had in the far corner of the magazine:

WHY THE HELL IS IT ERASING STUFF AS I TYPE ITS DRIVING ME INSANE

That's the mods' new computer program they are testing out to counter trolls. Obviously there is a flaw in it and it is only affecting you. Or is that the real intent of the mods?

[MrBadGuy]

Everyone knows there are more Z's (Zhoo Zhitsu). Come on. This is day one stuff, people.

[DdlR]

Yes, they are.

[Marc Spector]

My point is, both are considered correct Romanizations.

[DdlR]

If you wanna get technical, the original spelling of jujutsu/jiu-jitsu was not in Roman letters in the first place. So neither jujutsu nor jiu-jitsu is correct in the purest sense, but both are accepted forms of the word in the western world.

True, but we've specifically been discussing the spelling in Roman letters.

"Did these guys not see Shamrock sprawl on Royce?"

They didn't. According to the BB review of UFC I, Royce "took Shamrock down with a double leg".

Now a reverse punch to the top of the head... no counter for that.

I can't tell whether or not you're being sarcastic. Just give me a yes or no.

What a trip down memory lane... I remember reading that 'sprawl' article and thinking "Did these guys not see Shamrock sprawl on Royce?" Anyone who wrestles in high school knows there are counters to sprawling. Now a reverse punch to the top of the head... no counter for that.

[Gezere]

HAHA, fine sir.

You clearly don't know who i heard that from. That man has more experience in the martial arts then ANYONE on the board.

However, If it was wrong, then it was my doing, as i remembered the conversation wrong.

MA and Linguistic skill are two separate things. I have a lot of experience in both and wouldn't make that mistake.

It's awesome reading these old BB articles. In some of the more UFC-centric issues, there seems to be more articles that actually make sense. The letters section is funny, too. Art Davie wrote in once and basically offered anyone who was bitching about the UFC to step up.

Unfortunately, there are a few critical issues missing. Namely the ones right after UFC 2, where Royce actually beat a karate, kung-fu, jiu-jitsu, and taekwondo guy (But not a pressure point guy, because they're all pretty much frauds and didn't step up. Except for Ryan Parker, who got bitched by Remco Pardoel in UFC 7).

Well, I can positively confirm that when the name of the art was first introduced into the English language (via England, incidentally) it was generally spelled jiujitsu, with numerous variations (ju-ji-tsu, jujutsu, jujitsu, etc.) following in close order. It was also parodied in an early 1900s British play as "juicy jujubes".

At the time Maeda introduced it to Brazil, jiujitsu was still a very common spelling.
