Brazillian Jiu Jitsu is still descended of Japanese Jiu Jitsu, and still a traditional system, founded upon traditional concepts and practice.
It only takes one generation to become a 'tradition'.
As a family system, passed down to the sons of the family, Gracie Jiu Jitsu certainly has stepped up to the plate and played across the globe.
Sadly, the word 'traditional' has become synonymous with 'outdated'. Tradition means 'passed down'. I bet that the dictionary says something just like that. Outmoded practice becomes irrelevant.
