Ha Suhana,
This better not be another of your trick question!!!
BJJ and Capoeira are 2 distinctly different MAs.
BJJ is adapted Jap JJ.
Capoeira has got a longer history. They are very acrobatic in what they do. Full length bodyworks and kicks.
Talk to the Oldragon (Wayne). He is the "godfather" of Mark Darcacos - the guy who acted in "Only the Strongest" or something like that. Mark is the son of Al Darcacos who founded Won Hup Kune.
Mark is pretty good in Capoeira.

i heard BJJ is the very similar to the original ju jitsu, because it was taught by one of the old japanese masters while he was in Brazil> modern japanese Ju jitsu has been filtered down (not all,but most in the west). Thats just what i heard from a grappler friend of mine.

Brazilian jiu jit su is Japanese jiu jut su. The locals (Brazilians) wanted it to reflect their national identity so they added "Brazilian". Other than that, jiu jut su was introduce to Brazil by Japanese immigrants. In fact i believe there is a substancial Japanese population in Brazil. BJJ is a breakaway function of jiu jut su.  |

If i'm not mistaken, BJJ actually has more connection with Judo rather than Japanese Jiu Jitsu, despite what the name suggests.

I think the best way to put Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is what the gracies put together as a "organized system", not a new style but there own interpretation of the original "poem" so to speak. Same as there is, miyagi karate(goju), higaonna karate(naha-te - goju), chen tai chi, wu tai chi, etc.. etc...
No different than what ive currently been doing with my long(VERY LONG) study of Sanchin form, ive taken what I learned from that and systemized it into my own complete martial art. (The actuality of my art looks very similiar to certain crane kung fu, as it should since its complete basis is of the form Sanchin(saam chien, san jan)) Anyone interested in learning it, I am very traditional person in respects to teaching, I will teach any who is humble, willing to do the work, and discuss for hours. Now im ranting on tooting my own horn, I apologize.

Your profile say you are 22 years old. No disrespect but your study of Sanchin can not have been VERY LONG because you have not been alive VERY LONG. Good that you only teach the humble though. I liked that.  |

All depends on how you look at it, typical martial artists 3-6 hours a week tops. Me ... between 6-10 hours a day, thats about 35-70 hours a week I study. I have nothing else in my life (due to my circumstances, please dont ask, very personal), I take my studies as serious as a doctor should take his. If we were to compare a year of study of a average martial artists , to a typical year of study for me.
average - 144 - 288 hours a year
me - 1680 - 3360 hours a year
See what I mean ?
Not to mention my ability to analyze , "cultivate" wisdom, and sheer determination for truth, has absolutely nothing to do with my age.
I understand how easy it is to judge someone on age alone, there are many variables determining ones level of ability and overall knowledge of the "given" subject area, but age is definately NOT one of them. Once again I sound like a ego ass, but there is simply no other way to put it and defend myself in a justyl manner, I apologize for any offense taken ahead of time.
