Ran out of room on the last post, but I just want to add that despite everything I wrote BJ Penn is THE MAN! Also I'm pretty sure an ippon should have been scored when BJ went to take that guys back.

I compete in judo and BJJ. While in the old days a good blue belt in BJJ (with little to no judo)could surprise a local black belt division with bad sacrifice throws and superior groundwork, I pretty much never see it anymore. First, a lot of people crosstrain nowadays. Also people figure you out pretty quick in a BB division. If your plan is all matwork, they'll work hard to keep it standing. Sometimes a BJJ black belt enters local judo comp. I have never seen one win the whole division.

brazilian jiu jitsu came from jiu-jitsu judo was developed from traditional japanese jiu-jitsu

actually you're wrong, Maeda (a japanese judoka) brought judo to brazil by trainning the gracies, the gracies perfected the art and wanted to call it something different than judo, so they called it brazilian jiu-jitsu. it has nothing to do nor was it an altered art from the original jujutso.

bj had his back right after bj's failed throw. the guy tried to shake him off figuring he could go O Goshi or something. he did not landin dominate position. when he finished the "throw" bj was secured full back mount.. like he had when they were standing
