Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - Basically Just Judo
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu looks just like Judo, because it is Basically Just Judo. When Mitsuyo Maeda, a.k.a. "Conde Koma", began teaching Carlos Gracie in Belem do Para, Brazil in 1917, he was teaching Jigoro Kano's Jiu-Jitsu direct from the Kodokan in Japan. The name "Judo" was not popularized until 1925.
Mitsuyo Maeda was a Kodokan Judo instructor whose specialty was ground fighting (newaza). This type of ground-only fighting is often referred to as Kosen Judo, or High School Judo, because it was popularized in Japanese High Schools as a form of interscholastic wrestling. Kosen Judo rules allowed direct transition to newaza, enabling scenarios where one less skilled competitor could drag the other down to the ground (a tactic now known as "pulling-guard" in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu).
There is absolutely no question that the Gracie family demonstrated great skill and marketing acumen by promoting "Gracie Jiu-Jitsu" or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the masses. Helio Gracie's loss to Kodokan Judoka Masahiko Kimura was advertised as a "moral victory". More importantly, the Gracies sponsored the original Ultimate Fighting Championships when the world was begging for a professional combat sport with more depth than Boxing and more realism than the WWF. However, there is now a generation of Jiu-Jitsu students who only know half the story. Worse yet, they are often paying enormous prices for the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu name only to learn a subset of Jigoro Kano's original Jiu-Jitsu techniques and teaching methods.
The Judo world has not been without fault too. High ranking judoka often looked down on the new popular MMA world due to Judo's Olympic status. As a result, most Judo schools have been over-emphasizing the throwing techniques within Judo due to pressure from the International Olympic Comittee to increase ratings on TV for the brief moments when Olympic Judo would receive air time. Similarly, there is a generation of Jiu-Jitsu students, and now instructors, who incorrectly think Judo is nothing but a standing sport.
Fortunately, the phenomenal success of Ronda Rousey, 2008 Olympic Judo Bronze Medalist and UFC / MMA Champion has brought attention back to the accurate history of Judo and its rightful place in the Jiu-Jitsu grappling world.

5 Space Options for Running a Dojo
By: Lori O'Connell
If you’re thinking about starting your own dojo or running your own martial arts classes, the first thing you need to look for is a space in which to run them. There are a number of different options, all with their own pros and cons. I’ve run classes in 6 different locations over my tenure, so I can help you understand your options.
1. Basement/Garage
Pro:
Low overhead.
Very convenient.
Complete control over use of the space.
Con:
Space is limited.
You have to purchase your own mats and equipment.
You have to bring relative strangers into your home.
Encroaches your own living space.
2. Community Centre/UniversityPro:
Free publicity for your class through their network.
Little to no start-up costs if mats are not required or already provided.
Con:
Some pay you by the hour, limiting your profit potential.
Highly competitive. Can be difficult to get in.
Lack of control over your space. May not be able to come early or stay late if desired.
3. Martial Arts, Yoga or other Studio RentalPro:
More control over use of the space.
May not have to buy mats or equipment if already available (martial arts studio).
More potential for growth.
Con:
Lack of control over your space. May not be able to come early or stay late if desired.
If the business goes under, you’re stuck without a place to train.
May have to set up your mats and put them away before and after each class.
4. Industrial SpacePro:
Complete control over use of the space.
Tends to have more space.
Lots of room for growth.
Con:
Higher overhead costs.
Higher risks for financial loss.
You have to purchase your own mats and equipment.
Little to no walk-in traffic. Can be hard to find location.
May have to deal with noise from neighbours.
5. Retail SpacePro:
Complete control over use of the space.
More room for growth (depending on space).
More exposure and walk-in traffic.
Con:
Highest overhead costs.
Higher risks for financial loss.
You have to purchase your own mats and equipment.
Less privacy. People may walk in during classes or stare from windows.
