i dont know if jj could be getting confused with bjj.. since this big mainstream mma craze broke out i think people are talking about bjj being much different than original japanese jui-jitsu. first off bjj uses the gi, and japanese uses judoka. similair yet still not the same which makes a big difference. i have started training with a 3rd degree BB from royler gracies team, who is also a BB in judo. he's definetely teaching me how traditional bjj is taught i can say from reading what japanese jui-jitsu is there are many things similair yet very different... also in bjj the highest belt achievable is black, yet the highest belt period is a solid red belt. which only carlos and helio and their brothers can have. crazy stuff lol
