I remember back in like 2012 I was at the BJJ Worlds watching Rafael submitting his opponents like they were white belts. He cut through the competition like they were nothing. It was soooooo impressive.

Makes me sad to see World Championship fight on a mat that small, in a school basketball court. Things changed for the better , but not so much.
I think Robson Moura is a wonderful and outstanding technician .. never met him; would like to. Not as much limelight as many others - but he is deep into the work. Quiet achiever.
People juice because they want to win, be a world champ etc. regardless if there's loads of money in it or not. And I would be VERY surprised if Rafa wasn't on the sauce
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu === X Japanese Jiu-Jitsu === O Jiu-Jitsu was handed down to the Gracie family by Japanese jiu-jitsu Maeda, and only a generation has passed. Jiu-Jitsu has not deviated much from the Japanese jujutsu techniques learned from the Japanese, Maeda As hundreds of years pass, techniques are added and subtracted, and it must be recreated as a new type of martial art to make Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, How can Jiu-Jitsu become Brazilian when Jiu-Jitsu is only a generation old and hasn't deviated from Maeda's Japanese jujutsu? And the first record of Jujutsu, the origin of Jiu-Jitsu, appears in the Goryeo Dynasty records of Korea. The origin of Jujutsu is Korea. However, the reason why it cannot be said that Jujutsu in Japan is Korean Jujutsu is because this Jujutsu has been newly Japaneseized as techniques have been added and subtracted in Japan for hundreds of years
You have some intersting points there but when i went to locate the origin story of Ju Jitsu, in all the sources, none of them mention Korea, at all. Where did you get this info? Every culture has shown to have some form of hand-to-hand combat in its history. Looking at a fighting timeline, it is possible that the wrestling techniques of Jiu-Jitsu could have been influenced by Ancient Greece circa 12th-9th centuries BC to 600 AD. One of the Greek’s tradition of Olympic Games most popular sports, Pankration was both boxing and wrestling. During Alexander the Great’s conquests (356 - 323 B.C.), he brought the Greek culture to the areas he conquered, all the way to India, where he introduced the customs and ideals of Greek culture to the people of that area where Jiu-Jitsu’s foundation was likely to have been born. I have no idea I'm not a historian, but I am a analyst and this is whats out there. Jus sayn. For a friend.
