Not in the South anyway...
We had some while I was there. They didn't last too long... too many omnivores & such for their delicate tastes & beliefs.

I guess I should have rephrased my previous statement.
Jujitsu master who's teacher is of chinese descent and lives in china. From doing a basic internet search, it appears that jujitsu may have originated in China. I certainly don't have the experience in martial arts that others on this board do - so any assistance/knowledge is appreciated!
Why can't there be a chinese jujitsu? We have shaolin-do?
Ok then he's a Chinese - ju-jitsu teacher. Not a Chinese ju jitsu teacher.
There's plenty of arguments pro v con for Chinese origins of jujutsu.
Jujitsu happened when Americans & Brazilians got ahold of it.
The reason there's shaolin-do is the reason for this thread. Let's not add to it.
So its OK to say Brazilian Jujitsu but not Chinese Jujitsu and Shaolin but not Shaolin Do but you can say Tao, jeez, what an arrogant biggot you guys have become. BTW Jujitsu most definately has its origins in Chin Na / seizing arts of China most everything Japan has is from China or the surrounding area. Give the guy a break. KC
Are they planning to restore the Ming Dynasty to the US?
Is SD preparing for a Boxer Rebellion?
Maybe they'll all head for the Mexican border to chase all the foreigners out of the country?
Sin The' might be hearing from Homeland Security after this post. :eek:
Get over yourself.
I never said the Brazilians were right about their *******izing jujutsu. It has one spelling. The Americans & Brazilians have decided to make it phonetic instead of correct.
And yes, it is not correct to say Chinese jujitsu.
Do = Cantonese, Tao = Mandarin. Take your pick ... Shaolin-Tao or Siu Lum Do. Either way pronounced properly still wouldn't matter given the subject at hand.
BTW... jujitsu has its origin in Japanese jujutsu which has some koryu schools acknowledging a connection to China and others not. Depends on the region & age of the school.
Wrong about the Ju jitsu thing sean i will explain later. KC
Sorry, CSC and SD are all the same to me.
I've heard that BJJ isn't even an offshoot or derived from Japanese Jujutsu. It's based on some other type of wrestling. Might have been Ross who posted that info, don't remember.
